I love April. I think they should name the baby Mayflower~
If there is a baby. I thought on April 1, they may come out and say she's not really pregnant ~

I'm getting worried about April and this baby now.

Here is some giraffe gestational information, includes placenta/fetus pictures which some people may not like to look at -

The actions and physical changes we've witnessed for a week with April would only last about 24 hours with horses, cattle, sheep and goats before we'd "get in there and see what the problem is". What we would consider early to mid stages of labor with livestock apparently aren't considered labor with giraffes. According to the experts labor begins when hooves can be seen (what would be considered delivery in livestock). I have to keep reminding myself that giraffes are bigger and have a longer gestation period so maybe their extended, unproductive "not labor" contractions and pushing are nothing to be concerned about. I wish April could talk :thinking:
