I dont think so since 2 of my FF's starting making a small bag when they were at the end of their second month!
Their bags got pretty big by the time they started the last month.

the problem with goats are that they don't read and have their own mind in doing things
if you are long enough in goats you will see all kind of things, from bagging up without being pregnant to bagging up after the kids are already a couple of weeks old.
