I wont be too much help here, but our with our aged mare, the milk vein sometimes pops out a month in advance. But it does say that it will be sooner than later. :)
After a mare has foaled you will want to wait until the foal is weaned before you ride the mare again. It is very hard to ride a mare with the foal trotting along side, and can be dangerous for the foal. A foal is ready to be weaned any time from 6 to 8 months of age.
Heavy breathing can be a sign of many things, including that she may be in labor and ready to have her foal. Heavy breathing most commonly means the horse is uncomfortable or has exercised heavily. Mares who are in labor will breathe heavily. Mares who have a foal inside them that is in an awkward position will also be uncomfortable and sometimes breathe heavily.

You don't really see the vet. When your mare is ready to foal, a box will pop up telling you that she's about to give birth. There will be an option to Go Get The Vet. Click that and your foal will be born. :)
