If you can touch her, check her periodically to see how hot she is. They'll really get hot, even break sweat once labor gets going.
During the day that my mare had her foal, I noticed her sweating on and off. Dumb me didn't think much about it. It was rather humid that day, but I should have known the other ones were'nt sweating. Probably mostly will be on her shoulders and chest. Belle, did nibble all day at grass, so they will eat when in labor. Could the rippling you saw yesterday have been the foal moving?

Rippling isnt the right word, i cant descrie it, i have seen the foal move lots of times but this was different and she was making some noises and looked sweaty too. I am sure we disturbed her.
I have been trying to give her some space today, but i am heading out the door now to check her and also feed them all again, plus all the other animals.
Will keep u posted.
