Will a pregnant doe flag?

I believe this doe is due on August 17th. I caught both my bucks breeding her - before I could get to them and break it up. She got lute. She is getting chunky and started filling her udder, so I assumed the lute didn't work. My friend thought she felt babies moving.

She is now flagging the bucks and standing at their fence. They, of course , are gong nuts over her.

Would this occur with a pregnant doe? Or is it she's actually in false pregnancy - I hope that ls the case!

The only way to be SURE is to draw blood and send it to be tested. Or wait.
