I always mark the 150th day on my calendar. But, they can go well before or after that date.

Did you feel MOVEMENT or did you feel KICKING? Movement could be her rumen and not babies. If you actually felt knobby little elbows moving around, then obviously that's a baby. What side did you feel it on? If you are standing behind her, the babies would be on the right side. Rumen on the left.

Wouldn't that be absolutely horrid if she turned up not pregnant...

She must be. I mean she just has to be.

I can't believe there's no babies yet! I just keep checking in.....

Tango · #**303** 03/19/14, 02:02 PM

I have felt knobby knees and elbows

And lots of kicking, fluttering, etc. I think...now you have me questioning what those feelings actually were..ugh.
on another note, her bag is bigger, and teets too

Stop watching the goat. Stop watching her NOW! She's like a pot of water sitting on the stove. If you keep watching, she's never going to boil over! *lol* You're killing me with this anticipation! She is never going to kid if you keep peeking. You must stop. My sanity depends on it! *lol*

I second this

I have been reading from the first day and I check during the day to see if anything is happening.

MirandaT · #**308** 03/20/14, 09:22 AM

OK, you all are going to hate me and hopefully I am not the only one to ever have made such a huge mistake....
I promise I am really sorry for wasting your time , a whole 3 weeks of it.

Anyways, I have as straight talk plan, good plan, but crappy phones. My sd card burns up all the time. It will delete all my pics, calender events, reminders, etc. Well,.....When it burned up 4 months ago , I replaced it, and put the dates back in it. Since then a lot has happened.....stressful personal life stuff.
And when Trouble started exhibiting signs 3 weeks ago of what I thought was imminent labor, I assumed my date was the beginning of October because that would place her as due. I also assumed after frantically searching for where i had written it down, that i may have followed last years breeding schedule and may have put her in on sept 24, the DH bday. When nothing happened, and we passed date after date, i began to get frantically worried. maybe, its a cloudburst, maybe its a faux labor, maybe....the babies are stuck, and shes going to lose them or she could die.

Anyways, I kept searching for that date, and what I found was Cadence's breed date in my phone as October 24. This morning over coffee, I retracked the sd card, Looked deeper into other records, and what I found, is.......(again I am so stupid!!!) on Nov 7, Cadence bred. when i redid the calender app, I put "Cadence" instead of "Trouble"

I feel so stupid.

I never mess up this good. And with my app showing "CADENCE" instead of trouble, I assumed I had lost the record again in my phone, and that Trouble was in fact late...very late.
ughhhhhhhhh!. I am so sorry guys.

MirandaT · #**309** 03/20/14, 09:37 AM

So,....This Saturday is day 145....for Trouble,
And Cadence will hit 145 on April 1, (Fools Day)

I feel awful...I really do. So much time wasted on the thread. Again, so.very.sorry.

GraceAlice · #**310** 03/20/14, 09:50 AM

Lol.... woooowwww

Well that solves your problem! No worries over here, it's been more stressful for you than us, we are just staring at pixels on a screen, you are the one actually getting up and frantically worrying about her every minute of the day, lol!

marusempai · #**311** 03/20/14, 09:55 AM

Can I say that I'm just glad that nothing is gone horribly, horribly wrong?

GoldenWood Farm · #**312** 03/20/14, 10:37 AM

Oh my

. I am just so thankful that Trouble is alright and nothing is going wrong

. The end is in sight and now we have a due date! Such great news

.

StarofHearts · #**313** 03/20/14, 10:48 AM

Hey you figured it out! Awesome!

Will you hate me if I say that reading this thread has been fun? I love reading your descriptions of Trouble's antics.

I would read a thread and become addicted to it if it was all about Trouble and her kids.

Tango · #**314** 03/20/14, 11:12 AM

so this saturday it starts all over ?

same channel?

i'm glad she's okay too, hang in there.

MirandaT · #**315** 03/20/14, 11:13 AM

Well Im glad no one is angry. Ive been kicking myself in the business end all day

But I feel a lot better knowing there is nothing wrong with her. Ive hearing goat horror stories around here about still born babies and 3 week preemies due to the rough winter....at least I can breath easy now that she will kid in warm weather. Now I just get to sit around in anticipation and know for sure that it will be sometime in the next 12 days. LOL.....12 days!!!!!! geesh. Even that seems long. Her ligs are sorta gone....The only place I can feel them is if I squeeze/stroke the spine/tail head area, I can feel where they connect to it, but after that centimeter of lig, I cant find them, even if I push real hard. Last night she was talking real soft. But you know trouble....Shes likely to get her ligs back, have her udder shrink, and start doing cart wheels.

She has defied her "normal" signs of previous labors. Shes a fainter, and obviously heavy with kids, so i dont know if she will go closer to 145, or closer to 155.....heres to more watching and waiting, but with at least an end date....

MirandaT · #**316** 03/20/14, 11:15 AM

Ahaha...yep. all over again. Though Ill try to control the over updating

MirandaT · #**317** 03/20/14, 11:21 AM

On a completely unrelated note:

Does anyone have high DHEA levels on here?
I had a dr appt yesterday so she could tell me my DHEA levels were 800 points high....With no sure reason why. Been on the phone with doctors all morning trying to find a specialist that will accept my insurance. And it looks slim. not to meantion I live in BFE, so....theres def none close. I dont know much about DHEA, BUt i have read that it causes forgetfulness/memory issues, and leaves you unable to process stressful situations...(hahhaahha) Add that to 3 weeks of "Trouble's troubles..."

Squeaky McMurdo · #**318** 03/20/14, 11:55 AM

DHEA is a mothering hormone produced by your adrenal glands and it counters cortisol and adrenaline. Production is highest in your 20s and you can increase your levels by exposure to sunlight and getting lots of excersice. Lol. It probably has a lot to do with you running back and forth outside watching a goat and hoping for babies, stressing about something being wrong, and getting an adrenaline rush every time you thought they were going to be born any minute.

Didn't you say you're pregnant too?

I'm impressed that your levels are high. Low DHEA is much more common and it is what causes depression and low energy levels.

But with all that goat watching i can't really say I'm surprised....ROFL

Candy · #**319** 03/20/14, 12:30 PM

I am so glad there is nothing wrong. I also have enjoyed checking the thread daily seeing if your goat had delivered. I will be watching and waiting along with everyone else.

No. Not pg. had hysterectomy a year ago. My levels should be super low due to the hyster. And I'll be 30 next year.
it was 800 points too high. I don't exercise much, not like actual work outs, especially since I'm always drained feeling. Idk what is wrong with me. Have strong cancer genes in family, and had my uterus removed due to the fact it was completely covered in malignant tumors. Dr said when he took it out, he freaked because they seen nothing on ultrasounds, but when he cut me open he thought for sure I had late stage uterine cancer. I believe I did. I battled with bad health and issues down low for five years...it took a lot of prayer from church family and I was anointed twice...good ole baptists

Anyways I believe God changed the outcome, and for the Dr to even tell me two weeks later what he found and thought....that was so I would know what God had done and could share.

Now for another health battle. I just want baby goats dangit....
