I'm guessing another week. LOL
This will sound funny, but are you positive she is pregnant? |
lol - yes. I've felt little individual feet kicking
|
They have been waiting for this super cold, snowy storm. Be ready with your kit to welcome them into the LR while you try to keep everyone alive and fed!! lol
|
It's supposed to be 6 degrees tomorrow night. According to the doe code she will feign contractions all night and then deliver leisurely a day or so later after you are sufficiently frostbitten and sleep deprived. Fortunately after tomorrow its supposed to warm up, nothing left for her to wait for!
|
Ugh! Its like waiting for paint to dry! Any sign of babies yet? Glad she didn't spring 'em last night.
|
No. Her ligaments have been feeling "softer" for a couple days and her demands have been high.
She better pop me out a couple does! |
Hope all goes well!
|
I admit I didn't read EVERY reply but I am curious...has her belly dropped yet? I have had does lose their ligs and get them back again but once their belly drops I know I will be having kids within 24hrs. Good news is you know EVENTUALLY she has to give those kids up :grin:.
Justine |
Temperatures in the 50's and 60's for the next ten days. You dodged the doe code bullet! Surely she'll pop before cold weather returns!
|
She's been slowly dropping. Like molasses! Several times I've thought, today is the day! Only for her to tuck that thing right back up.
|
You will know when she DROP drops, it makes you start looking for kids because you think she already had them. Many times I watch my does drop and think they are close but when they REALLY drop then I know I was just watching the predrop :D.
Isn't it so much fun guessing? I am getting anxious already for my kids and I have until March before anyone is due. I am actually keeping a few doelings back this year and I am anxious to see what everyone has. Justine |
I need 12 does so i can have a kid a month :D
I've got 2 more due in April as well |
Shes really restless today and her tail bone seems bonier/higher. Ligaments hard though
|
Hey how is she doing today?? I won't ask if she is any closer because as my mom tells me every day is a day closer :). Thinking doeling and easy delivery thoughts for you!
|
I've been away a few days...thought for sure she would have kidded by now! Especially with that awful cold and snow! Hmmm...maybe she is that unusual doe who waits for nice weather! That would be VERY good!!!
|
She usually does, and midday.
She wasn't doing anything when I left for the city. I'll be back in a few hours. It even poured today and nothing |
Okay I had a dream that all my does kidded out today (even though they are due in March *laughs*). So that must mean that your girl is going to have her babies today...right? :D.
Is it sad that I am getting anxious about her having these babies as well? I am living vicariously through you until March :D. Justine |
Justine, it's not just you. I have 2 that are due any day and can barely stand the wait. Every time I look at the pictures of the new kids I tear up. I check this site several times a day just for the new babies. There is really something special about baby goats.
Good luck, SarahFair. We are all waiting for your kids, too. |
-.- nothing
|
I am anxiously awaiting mine too. She was bred when I got her, the rest of the herd kidded a month ago. Daisy is still holding on. Felt a baby kick today though, kicked HARD!
|
Full moon is Thursday, maybe that will get her moving along.
|
Her udder has grown some since last night and her ligaments are squishy, not wrap around squishy, But definitely soft
|
Think I saw a large contraction. All her hair went up, head curled, back arched, and a teeth grit that made MY teeth hurt.
|
Sounds like we could be having some babies today!! Is she starting to nest yet? Not that all does nest while in labor but the majority of mine do :).
Justine |
She's not eating almost at all and she's not up moving much.
Whenever she is standing it's in her food |
Hmm it sounds like she is getting down to business. I can't see her so I could be wrong, but when my does are not up and moving or wanting to eat they are getting much closer. Then I have the occasional doe who gets annoyed with contractions because she has to stop eating her food :rolleyes:.

Did her back end look like this? Always check to see if it does, because if it is sucked in when she does something weird, then that really is a contraction.
|
Oh, goody! I got here just in time...remember, we will need many, many pictures!
|
Still no babies..
Shes acting a little weird this morning though. Shes been quietly nickering for a couple weeks, but shes constantly doing it this morning. Shes still doing that tight head curling which is followed by some awkward body movements.. Her last couple kiddings shes never showed huge contractions like Ive seen out of some other does. Its rained so much here her pen is a sopping mess. I raked it out yesterday tyring to dry it out, but then it rained again. I might need to move her to the garage until its good and dry again. |
It would be funny if both of our girls did this together. Mine is down this morning and I have never seen her lay down at all. She didn't appear to be in any pain, so I left her alone and got my kids up and once they are at school, I will go back out to check on her.
|
wishing you an easy kidding :)
|
Wheee! My Ladybug looks about ready as well. Her ligs are just about gone and her belly dropped. She looks all hollowed out above her baby bump. Last night she was humming to herself and our big wether, Bobb, was standing guard over her. He won't leave her side. I'm in Florida so I have the same problem with the rain and the mud. Supposed to clear up this afternoon, though. A good day for a kidding!

Florida has it's drawbacks, but I am not complaining about the warmer winters. I was out today slogging through the mud in shirtsleeves. Can't wait for pics of all these babies! :rock:
|
Still holding on. Her udder is definitely larger and feels more firm and she's kind of walking funny.
It's not that she's dragging her back legs, but she'll take her front steps then her back. She doesn't do it once she's good and moving, it kind of looks like she's getting her "sea legs" Her tail isn't wrap around soft yet, but it's close |
Good gravy that poor girl is determined to have those babies well done! It does sound like they are moving down there though, so she is getting closer!
Justine |
Who needs soap operas when you have goat operas? Lol

Any news? How's she doing? Your description of her walking kinda worried me. Does she have any swelling in those legs?
