Second Labor?

medyssa May 13, 2008 01:12 AM

I just checked on mom again and decided to give her a towel bath, it seems like she is still pretty hefty, eventhough she isnt all that big for a BRB. Could it be possible that she still has something in her? I cannot imagine that she could, since so much came out but with Cleo dying from complications due to retained slugs, I am certainly not willing to take the risk again. Any suggestions?

Could it possibly be just the weight of the eaten slugs added back on?

She only ate one slug that I know of, all the rest I threw away, she was just sitting on that last one and didnt want to move. She also doesnt eat at all when she is gravid, so she has not eaten in about 4 months.
