FF day 150-ish pic

FF day 150-ish pic - Goats

I swear yesterday morning she had NO ligaments left. I just knew I would wake up to baby/ies this morning. She's had a bit of goo but nothing prolific. She's been yawning, licking her sides, staring into space, and sticks to me like Velcro whenever I'm around. She licks me as much as I'll let her, too.

Today, ligaments are back like they never went away. She's bagged up a bit more but not to the tight and shiny stage. Think she's dropped. Last night she played hide-and-seek with baby hoof, it would poke out of her side, she'd nudge it and it would poke back out again.

So, we're still waiting. Sigh.

Should be soon! She looks like she's getting ready. And darn those ligaments anyway! My last one to kid didn't have ligaments for 3 weeks. 3 WEEKS!!!

Congrats in advance!!

I'm right there with you Sonja. We're at day 148 and she didn't have ligs this morning...now she does. She is going to wait until I need to leave for sure!

I hear you! I am waiting on my FF, with this being Day 154. She has been faking me out for a whole week! This morning her ligs were completely gone, but they came back.

I feel for you...I have a doe with which I have no due date on (which doesn't normally happen but I didn't think she got bred but she did!) but two days ago she bagged up and yesterday her belly dropped so now she "lost" her baby belly and she is walking all straddle legged as you can tell the babies are down there. But she STILL HAS HER LIGAMENTS! . By all accounts you would think she would be in labor right now, the poor thing is so miserable and doesn't want me to leave her side . I believe once her ligs are gone labor is going to go quick.

I hope your gals does go soon. Bring on the coffee

No baby/ies here yet. She was acting less laborish this morning than she was last night.

*grumbles*
