Goat Kegels Impending Birth or wishful thinking?

[luvzmybabz]

I think I have been looking at too much goat who ha cause I would swear my goat is doing Kegels ( anyone ever had a midwife? ) and the sides (l) are very swollen she is still not fully bag bulging but I am not if she even will as she has CAE and I have heard that lack of milk is one of the symptoms of CAE. I can almost touch fingers beneath her tail and she is acting very bossy today even with the little girls which she never does.

Being bossy is a good sign that it will be soon Keep us posted and get the camera ready!

I have had does go into labor before and their udders are not full but fill as they are laboring. Not uncommon for them to do this ..its usually FF that have tight udders before kidding.

I had a midwife and yes I understand Kegals.....I am laughing, not sure if goats do it. But what a picture you painted for me. Thanks!

I have noticed what you are seeing before with some of my does Unfortunately I have noticed them do that when they are due very soon, and also weeks away from delivery so I don't think that in itself is a sign of impending delivery. I would go more by the ligaments and behavior...that seems to be the best sign I think.
