Little help please

I'm just shocked by what 6 days can do! She's being extremely restless tonight. She won't leave the baby gate alone. She won't stay chewing on it fortunately, but she won't quit hitting it. I'm scared she's going to break down the gate and tear through the house lol

Doesnt look like it...milk line isnt strong enough yet. She may end up being a light milk producer or she may like most pigs come in very full in the last 24hrs before farrowing. As i mentioned my knowledge is with standard size pigs so im using that as my comparison.

According to the labeling on Mazuri feed she should be getting plenty if not extra calcium from the feed alone.
Calcium (Ca) (min.) 0.80%
Calcium (Ca) (max.) 1.3%
Gestating and lactating sows first litter second half only require 0.83% calcium.

If she is being to crazy you might try switching her to 75% adult 25% youth...slow her down a little. The youth for adults looks like it would be a bit like a giant sugary soda and a candy barn for a kid in human terms. Or even 60/40 if your worried about enough calories. At 20% protein it looks quite rich...but if you can deal with her being a little crazy i wouldnt worry about it.
 
She's shaking a little. Is that normal?

I don't raise pigs but you might want to post how many and how long ago were they born and are they nursing? Is she eating yet? Just so people have an idea if everything is going ok or not. I have no clue since she isn't a goat.
 
She had 9. Only 6 are alive. She's grunting and shaking a little. They're nursing. A couple are sleeping. Some were born fairly recently as their cords are still wet. She's not eaten yet
