The udder could be hard due to mastitis or due to uterine infection in association with pregnancy...however, if these and other reproductive issues have been eliminated as the problem then the mare could be successfully in foal.
The vet may not be able to determine the stage of pregnancy through palpation or ultrasound because the foal is below the pelvic brim...although the enlarged
udder indicates that she is farther along in pregnancy and the foal should be
palpatable.
If the mare's udder is enlarged, the next question is whether the "milk" color has changed from a clear gold color to white, which is generally a good indicator that she is close to foaling. Also, the muscles will relax over the top of her tail and over the back. The mare's tail will feel weak.
There is obviously some guesswork involved on the part of the vet once it is determined that the mare is healthy and in foal any guess at foaling date is just that...a guess...
