I noticed the bulging in the back last week-end and it seems as though she must be aware of it at times because, her tail movement is actively swiping across-out of the ordinary-
I guess that's why I thought she'd give birth last week-end-

I noticed it then too, but it seems to be bulging more to me.....may be just wishful thinking, LOL!

3/29 Evening Update
"Taco Induction"
Keep on laughing! Our sense of humor has kept us sane throughout this entire process! Tonight, I will share with you Dr Tim's report to his following friends and colleagues.
"Ok Gang... if you have been watching today, you should start getting excited... we are seeing almost all the signs of birth happening within the coming days... of course, my schedule is crazy for the next few days so naturally, we will pick the worst time possible. Hah. In an effort to speed things along I am launching "Operation Taco Induction"... let's see what happens. (Not in Labor...) yet. - disclaimer - she didn't actually get a taco. I'm not ridiculous."
Keepers report continued discharge and mammary development. Appetite was off this morning - back this evening!

April, April! You are teaching us humans how to be pacient which is a good thing. But we are leading very busy lives, but we love you and are all eager to greet your baby so we will stay with you as long as we can. Good luck with the delivery!
Thanks @Marp. Thanks for the update. I was not able to log on until now. Don't know what was wrong. Was glad that I hadn't missed anything.
Happy continued watching everyone!

April is very sluggest today.
Also noticed her pen floor is cleaner than usual...not much food or poop on the floor.
In labor?

Yea, I also noticed that tail lifting. Now staying in that arc position. I think the "end is near."
I have now shifted to full screen mode. I have a 30" screen.
