The Not So Silent Stage?? Or something else?

[movebyfaith]

Here are the symptoms:

VERY talkative from my normally doesn't make a peep about anything girl
Doesn't want to go out browsing this morning her normally favorite thing to do in fact doesn't even seem to want to leave her pen and cries at me when I do
Last night her udder had grown and this morning seems pretty large for an FF IMIO (the I stands for inexperienced)
Seems restless doesn't want lay down in her usual spot wanders from place to place
Has a far off look (kinda like she's not looking directly at you or anything else)
Her sides are sunken and the right feels tight not flexible like normal
Her ligs I can not find but that also may be due to my inexperience
But still NO GOO

Could these be the early signs of the apparently for her not so silent stage or should I be considering that something else is going on since there is no goo?

Edited to add that when she lays down she wags her tail a lot and then does what seems to head-butting her side.

Sounds like early labor.

Sounds like labor to me too. I would stay close & keep an eye on her. If things don't progress along as you think or seems to be taking to long I would glove & lube up & make sure everything is OK with baby presentation, etc.
