Milk in udder - PG for sure?

I have a Nigi doe from CannonFarms that came possibly bred.
Patricia said she thought she might have been in heat recently, but that
she is a bit if a "bawd" and that might have been a fluke, and she is massive - bigger my FF doe due any moment with a full udder, but this doe is 6 (I think) and has freshened a lot, I guess, so I'm assuming she could just be massive from all those past babies - hey, it effects 'us' women that way, too -
She has no udder - but tonight I squeezed a teat - lol - just to see and milk did shoot out on the second squeeze - still - no udder. . .
Does this really mean anything? ?
CF said she'd be due the 10th of this month, if she was bred. . .I believe. . .

she doesnt get much of an udder but shes full within a few days of kidding. Boo is a wide body doe, when I first got her I couldnt believe she wasnt pregnant and she had just had triplets. Size doesnt tell you anything with her, but her udder will.

Btw kudos for you milking her or attempting too, that couldnt have been fun

HAA HAA! She was really good about it - once I caught her - lol!
I think she is just old and wide, haa haa! I don't feel kids in there -
but since there was milk, I thought. . . Hmmm, maybe.
So was it the tenth would be the like day 150?
