Usually she's liable to get back up within a couple minutes or so after pushing out her calf on the ground. If she's got a back injury though, she may stay down and you may have to try to get her up. Sometimes she can give birth on a hill or in a bit of a depression and the way she's laying makes it impossible for her to get up again. With that you will have to get the tractor or truck to pull or out or try to turn her around so she can get back up.
For cows that may have temporary paralysis of her rear legs, see the related question below for more info on how to get downer cows up that have this condition.
yes there are in fact! xD when a mare is close to giving birth, she may pace around her stall, look at her side, look as if shes in pain, lay down and get up, and just like humans her water will break so if you see a wet patch youll know your close.
Yes. They have no problems giving birth when on their sides; sometimes its necessary because of the pain and contractions that are going through them that are so powerful that they can't stand to deliver their calf. A cow lying down to give birth will not hurt the cow nor the calf.
Mares will tend to get antsy right before foaling (ie: a few days before) and they will drip milk from their udders. I've written an article about our mares during foaling @ http://www.ehow.com/how_4526561_prepare-mare-foaling.html
Mares always give birth lying down.
If you plan on breeding i suggest you read up on it first and always have a Vet check you dog before you plan on doing this sort of thing. Smaller breeds can have problems when giving birth and breeding a dog is not a small chore. I have breed dogs for years and you as an owner need to make sure your dog is healthy before breeding a potential gene defect into a new litter
He is referring to someone getting down on him, aka. giving him head.
Yes, to chew their cud.
It is because of the prostaglandin that will produce labor pains and then it will urge you to bear down.
because when triangelas giving birth baby triangloe fell down a hill and deforemed :)

You should rest, lay down and try to sleep it off. The head ache comes from the feeling of dizzy-ness of standing up too quick and being mobile. After giving blood one should sit down for at least 15min before getting up and walking around.
it is hard to tell and a skill to master,but if you look down and there is a baby there you know you've done it!
no it's not a birth defect...it's a disease caught way before birth..Down syndrome is when a person has 1 more chromosome than normal people.
Like most other living creatures the act of procreation demands considerable work and strain. Of course the fish will stop eating just prior to and when she is giving birth.
Having a sibling with Down syndrome does not directly increase the chances of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome. The risk is influenced by maternal age, not family history. If both parents are carriers of the genetic translocation for Down syndrome, the risk may be higher.
Wait until three days after the mother has given birth before you handle either mother or babies. After three days, you can safely handle the mother mouse, and the baby mice as well. That way, the mother and the mice has had a chance to bond and settle down from the hectics of giving birth and being born.
After mating, yes. After the female has given birth to the bunnies, no. If the female gets pregnant RIGHT after giving birth, her health will go down. Best to wait a day or two before mating again. Better yet, go and spay and neuter that couple.
