GraceAlice · #**382** 03/24/14, 09:14 PM

So are mine

GraceAlice · #**383** 03/24/14, 09:16 PM

Hmmm. .. maybe goats are just weird? i've NEVER thought that. .. lol! Yep, goats are weird.

Sending prayers over your way for your goaties and yourself, Miranda. Hoping everything goes well!

GraceAlice · #**384** 03/24/14, 10:07 PM

How are things going?

MirandaT · #**385** 03/24/14, 10:35 PM

She is still laying down, up and down, new corner, then paws and lays down again. Lots of yawning and stretching get back. I know for sure that she was streaming earlier, I just don't know what the hold up is.

:thumbdown: maybe later tonight. :what:

GoldenWood Farm · #**386** 03/24/14, 10:37 PM

If she isn't pushing then she isn't in distress. Just keep an eye on her

. If it was my doe I would just check her every 2 hrs or if you are worried about the temps every hour.

Any news this morning? If she hasn't had them yet, maybe put something in there with her so that she can raise up her front end. Mygirlsmlike to put their front feet up on the sill plate (I think that's what it's called) when they are getting kids into position.

MirandaT · #**388** 03/25/14, 06:39 AM

Still nothing as far as I know. Listened all night to the monitor, heard nothing. Haven't made my way out yet.
Mammabooh-she has a couple things in their to raise her up.
I'm telling ya, these goats are running me down this year. I've never seen a doe go this long after streaming huge long globs of clear mucus. I'm tempted to check her but she is acting weird. She's my bottle baby, loves me to no end. But yesterday....she all of a sudden didn't want me to touch her, or brush her, but she would cry when I left:what: but then when I would comfort her, she'd head butt me.

MirandaT · #**389** 03/25/14, 07:44 AM

Yep still pregnant. I just don't get it. How can a goat go from streaming a ton of clear-milky mucous, and I do mean a lot. It was hanging clear to her knees, and then just stop. I was wrong.

And now I'm just exhausted. Ugh. Between her and Trouble, I should have had babies already by the signs.
And that mucus was exactly what she has done last year nine hours before she kidded.
It was way different than just losing the bits of plug. When she would stand up, big bubbles, like thick rope of goo would go back in.

Did you check her for dilation and proper presentation of babies? Renee just had a retained kid. Watch her experience

myheaven · #**391** 03/25/14, 11:56 AM

My Becky had the streaming. Baby was upside and head tucked under her body not back but under. It didn't end well. What is your doe doing now?

GraceAlice · #**392** 03/25/14, 12:13 PM

Yuck! Sorry about that myheaven.

pretty kids and a pretty doe.

Just curious, did you bounce her to see if there were more kids?

MirandaT · #**393** 03/25/14, 12:58 PM

She is creeping around slow, feet up on everything. I can still feel ligs though her sides are sunk in and her tail is crooked and prominent.
I tried to do a pelvic earlier and she freaked out. Doesn't want me to touch her.

MirandaT · #**394** 03/25/14, 01:04 PM

Don't know if these help

MirandaT · #**395** 03/25/14, 01:08 PM

One of my big concerns is all that streaming yesterday, yet I see huge movement from the babies every once in a while, like a beached whale rolling. can the streaming happen without birth coming.

Or is there a problem?

GoldenWood Farm · #**396** 03/25/14, 01:19 PM

She looks closer than in the first pictures. I wonder if it was the rest of her mucus plug. I had does who didn't lose it all at once. But man these girls are determined to prove us all wrong.

Justine

MirandaT · #**397** 03/25/14, 01:29 PM

I thought at first it could be the mucous plug until it got so thick it looked like that amber rope without the amber color. idk. she is determined to prove me wrong.lol

MirandaT · #**398** 03/25/14, 01:46 PM

This is not my goat, this is from another website that shows labor signs. i didnt get the good pics yesterday of her streaming because my phone died, but this is what it looked like, but more milky-clearish.....Which is why i panicked. I know this is a sign, however when you add the fact that her ligs are still in there, unless its hip bones, and i see babies rolling....it just doesnt add up. Anyways, she's out and about grazing, i will just keep watching her through out the day.

GraceAlice · #**399** 03/25/14, 01:51 PM

I've had a doe go into heat with goop that looked exactly like that except white. So it was most likely her mucous plug, especially if ligs are still there. Babies can't come out if her ligs are there, pretty sure it's impossible so I'd imagine she will go into labor very soon but she isn't right now.

The goop color you are looking for will be either clear or amber colored. Otherwise it's probably her plug. The pictures you posted didn't look like kidding goop at all to me... but she sounded like she was in labor!

MirandaT · #**400** 03/25/14, 01:59 PM

I agree with you Grace. However , like i said before, that was exactly the way the goop looked last year the day she kidded, so i was confused.
Today is 148.

For either her or Trouble. I know i know....stupid girl.... i found it in the calender as Cadence, but then thought i was wrong and it should say "trouble" because she was playing false labor games, but now with cadence doing all her signs, I think i was right last year when i wrote down Cadence.
So if it is in fact her 148, thats the day she kidded out last time. Do goats usually kid the same time every year, like the same length of gestational days, or is it diff every time.

Im going to start a new thread mostly for some info in moon phases....You should drop by. This thread is making me crazy. Its a shame the OP is such an airhead
