I bought this mini pot belly pig, the owners said she was pregnant and due anyday now according to what today is. Well I am starting to wonder if she’s not pregnant, maybe they sold me her saying she was and maybe she was just in heat. Her vulva is swollen, and I can’t tell if her teats look to be bagging. This is my first pregnant pig, I need help so maybe you could answer the question.

Check out this picture I am going to attach. One was from yesterday and the other from today.

Would you say pregnant due soon or just in heat?

Sorry the pictures are horrible quality!

I am by no means an expert on swine, particularly potbellies, but I have bred and raised regular pigs on a number of occasions. Your pig does not look pregnant to me. If she was ready to farrow, she would be much larger and deeper in the belly and her teats would be filling.
 
If she was pregnant then she is very early into it. When she starts to show her belly will almost drag the ground, and her tits will be rubbed on the ground so they aren’t tender when she starts to nurse.
