Ugh.
.come on babies

GraceAlice · #**182** 03/11/14, 06:31 PM

Guessing she has a week or so to go still. Vulva is way too tight and long. She also doesn't look like she's dropped.

GoldenWood Farm · #**183** 03/11/14, 07:31 PM

Oh yeah I don't see her going for at least another week maybe two. Her vulva hasn't started getting poofy at all and you are right Grace she hasn't dropped yet.

Sorry Miranda but I think you have a bit to go yet

. But she is pregnant!

Just put her up in the Barn and she's now leaking this gooey stuff. Its not thick like it was before, its almost like oil....its dripping...

I put her in the stall, and she laid down and started breathing really fast...she's almost like panting, and stretching her back legs out and curling her lip...and talking

If she waits another week...good golly. Lol

I agree at the least a week. She's way too tight and puckered.

Looks like mucous plug and she peed so it is dripping.

Pregnant goats have discharge sometimes whenever in pregnancy, but especially towards the end.

I've just found this thread and I have to say it could have been us watching our pregnant doe, Ava. We don't have a due date (our own fault) and she's been keeping us guessing. She's much poochier than Trouble, and has had an enormous udder (very close to the ground) for about two weeks. It's not tight but it's huge. We keep thinking any day now, too! And, then something changes that makes us think another week, another week.

I'm looking forward to kid pics once Trouble's babies arrive! Hang in there.

Bumping up - any news???

MirandaT · #**192** 03/14/14, 10:53 AM

No. No change, or babies. Im going crazy here. Im guessing she got knocked up at the end of her time in there. Cadence is due to kid around the 24th. And they were a couple weeks apart. Unless she was tagged days before i put cadence in then my guess would be closer to the 20th. I just dont know. Like i said when I got her she was malnuriched, and skinny. I spent a few months buuilding her back up to a healthy state, and then put her in with him at the beginning of October. She acted skiddish with him at first. Never seen them mount or lock up, so when i took her out, i assumed nothing happened. Put cadence in, and took her out a week later. Her 145 is the 24th. Trouble wasnt with Cisco again, until late December, Early January when he busted out. He didnt go near her though....so no other possible breeding dates. Oct 1-20 is my window. I just dont know.....Either way, Im still waiting. I will post some pictures soon to show you all, you can tell me if you detect change. I still remain concerned because all the heavy fast breathing, goop, loss and gaining of ligs, etc. The babies are still alive though. I felt them kicking three days ago. She still is pawing the ground, rubbing her sides on everything, eating and drinking. So i havent done a pelvic or anything to stress her. Her previous owner, the one who she was born too, said she never seen her go more than 5 days losing her mucous plug.....

MirandaT · #**193** 03/14/14, 10:58 PM

We have little wax plus on the teets.....

MirandaT · #**194** 03/14/14, 11:00 PM

Sides are even more sunk in...

GoldenWood Farm · #**195** 03/15/14, 05:15 AM

Oh sunken sides are a good thing! She is getting closer

Fed her this morning, while I also threw scratch down for the chickens. Usually she scarfs hers down and runs for the chicken feed. Always!!! Well this morning she is just standing near it with her head down kinda gazing and breathing...not doing any feed stealing. That worries me. I don't know if she is ill or if she's in pain or of labor is closer.

I have also started to brush her. I hadn't brushed her all winter because that real soft cashmere type winter fur would come out and I was afraid shed loose too much of her coat and freeze. Lol....she seems to be enjoying that. So this morning I'm just brushing her and watching her real close

Tango · #**197** 03/15/14, 10:16 AM

In your last photo she is looking a lot closer, naturally since time rolls forward

This has all been great experience for you and for many others. Good job with the descriptions and photos. Your thread can be a reference for some who are experiencing their first upcoming freshening.

MirandaT · #**198** 03/15/14, 10:17 AM

Thank you. Lol...it has certainly been a long journey with her.

eam · #**199** 03/15/14, 10:35 AM

Hollow hips are a good sign that she's getting closer! I'm no expert by any means but with us, poochiness seems to be a telling sign. My Ava kidded this morning so Trouble is sure to follow, hopefully soon.

Backfourty,MI. · #**200** 03/15/14, 11:59 AM

Looks like she's getting closer, hang in there!
