Delivering tonight?

Of course my does have to wait until the coldest point of the day so I would say I will be up for a long time. I dont know about this delivery all the signs are weird this time. I think she may have them to early but will see. She is so huge I am scared she may have 4 in there and that generally is not a good thing for meat goats...I wish I could measure her belly but I dont want her getting up if she dont want to. every breath is a moan and has been for the last week, I have a bad feeling hopefully I am just being paranoid. Pray for her, and will keep updated.

Your description brings back memories of when I was 10 months pregnant! Not enough room to draw much of a breath.

Hope everything goes well and that we have pictures of the new babies on the forum tomorrow!

Oh, maaaaaaaaaaaaan. I hate it when they do that.

Well, here's praying for no more than 3 and no less than 2.

KEEP US UPDATED - and post pics if/when applicable, of course.

How many days bred is she? Just wondering is she in labor already & needs your help? Or just really uncomfortable because she is so big?
Just trying to cover everything, I'm not trying to make you worry more.

Still waiting with you. Silly doe! Doesn't she know that things will be so much better if she just lets those kids out?

Last year, I found changing the lyrics to popular tunes was very helpful. "The Waiting" by Tom Petty was pretty easy to switch around to goat kidding...
