Exclamation Patiently Waiting Update Need An Idea Soon

Hello everyone I have been away a while trying to get some things on farm taken care of and trying to figure out this nanny

I am not exactly sure of what is going on with her.... As many of you well know that she was what I thought to be getting ready to kid....
I do not know what exactly is going on with her now. I know that if she was going to kid, she would have done so already,... wouldn't she? I mean if she was going to kid and full term it would have been at the end of January. The last time I talked with that head vet at the college, that I have been in touch with, he told me that they can take up to 10 days to deliver, hmmm been 10 days plus. She has been eating, drinking water and everything normally.
Here's the thing, she pushes like she she is in labor and SOMETIMES, she will maaahhh out when she does that, but not everytime,... and then goes on and does her business of eatin' grass or hay or chewing her cud. She urinates and does have bowel movements. I had wormed her and given her vit.B complex along with and she has had minerals etc... Could she be constipated, even though she is having bowel movements? Hmmm I wonder?
DOES ANYONE, have any idea what this might be signs of??? I am only going to be able to be here online for the next few minutes , as I have to leave soon, so I am hoping that someone will have some kind of idea before I have to leave. Thanks.

Well do you have a exact bred date? Did you or someone SEE her get bred? If not then the daye you have could be wrong. Are you sure you added the days correct? I only say that because I messed up the dates with one of mine by 9 days. I guess I forgot how to count there for a momunt.
I am concerned about the maaahhh, that is going on. yesterday my doe did that and I was outsied in a heart beat, and she had just delivered her first baby. Have you taked her temp? Now don't let the eating thing throw you. My Valentine ate about a cup of grain 20 minutes before she deivered the first baby.
Can you get another picture of her butt?
Good luck, I hope all goes well for you.

picture?

I don't have a picture of her ....ummmm butt LOL
did you see one here... I was wonderin' since ya asked could I get another...
I have been checkin' on her every chance I get and every day constantly. Nothing has changed. She SOMETIMES acts like a woman when she she can no longer close her legs when she is about to give birth to her child. As mentioned in post, she is acting normal all other times.
I just don't get it I wonder...
False pregnancy? Constipation or whatever......
Temp is normal.
I didn't see her get bred, as I didn't even know she was suppose to have a kid. She was one that we rescued from someone that had gotten her from us they did a so we took her back they said they were moving...yea right.... anyways........

I forgot to mention earlier that she did eat some yogurt.
Oh well....... I have to leave here in about 5 minutes ...ANyone else....suggestions??? I am at ends with possibilities.......

Exclamation the waiting is over!!

Well, here we are 2 months after the wait.... Boy, is the joke on me.
I want to thank everyone that sent the responses and ideas while I was sitting around all that time.
I just wanted to let everyone know that it was not a pregnancy. Whatever it was, who knows.,...

Ya know, she actually went through the same things again a month later. Then again this month. I have not earthly idea what it could be.
Last month the vet teacher at the college in va. had me give her some penn. just in case it was some kind of infection and also I gave her several shots of B- complex and she had some yogurt a couple of times.
I just don't get it. Maybe. she just has different signs of goin' in heat than the others do. I guess I will never know...
Thanks again and God Bless.

If it's happening every month or there about I'd be thinking that she was most likely in heat like neehifarm suggested.
