Goat at 154 days and nothing?

I have a Nubian/Saanen cross who is 154 days pregnant. Bred by the buck on 9/19. Last year she kidded on day 154. This year the only sign of her getting even close to kidding is some loose ligaments but she has had those for the last four days. Otherwise nothing. How long can they actually go pregnant?

Is there any chance that she was bred on another day as well? Good luck, you know how goats are. It could just be the does code of honor, she's going to wait until you aren't looking! Just go shopping, you may have a surprise when you get back!

That was me last year - I decided to take DD out with a friend and her girls came home to triplets! Now that I'm working this year I have a feeling they won't hold out as long - they will just wait until the car pulls out........
