Beginnings of labor?

[Queen Mum]

Dot, the goat, just went into the pen, hunched her back and 20 minutes later had a baby. That was it! No pawing, no nesting, no yelling, no goo, just a big gigantic udder and a hunched back...

Mama popped hers out in the barn. No goo, no big udder. Quietly with no fanfare. Triplets. Five minutes later her udder was GIGANTIC.

Jelly Bean was out in the field eating and came over to me and started to pant a bit and headed for home. Every 100 feet or so, she stopped to breath then when she got home she went into the kidding pen and quietly laid down and popped out a bubble. She had triplets. She had a gigantic udder for weeks and a really gigantic udder and a sunken back an hour before kidding.

Brownie, pawed, nested, panted and made faces... no yawning, no stretching. She had a huge udder and a sunken back.

That poor goat has been in labor a long time. Got to be a worlds record

The point is, it is a crap shoot! You know when you know. The doe knows when she knows and she will only tell you when she is really sure. And she might not even tell you then. Or she might not even know.

Dot is a first freshener. I don't think she knew. I put her in the kidding pen cause she was standing close to it and I thought she might need to be there. She just looked kind of like she was going to have her kids...

Mama went into the barn without telling me and quietly had her babies. She knew and she didn't want anyone else to know. She waited till all the other goats were out eating and I was in the house. She hid... to have her babies.

Brownie made a big deal and so I put her in the kidding pen, just in case...

Jelly Bean pretty much told me she needed to go home 'right now'. It was a LONG WALK. She held on till we got there, bless her lovely little heart...

I was just joking. I've been reading your thread for a while.

I know you are stressing over it. Thought I would add a little humor.

What's the saying, a "watched pot never boils" ?? Go out of town for a few days. She'll kid.

Yes well my goat lies...A LOT!!!
She lied to me, she lied to the vet, she lied to the goat breeder, she lied to the neighbor...
Shes enjoying the attention and milking it for as long as she can I think Shes definitely taking me for a ride that's for sure, then every time I relax she does something new...
Ive even had people question if she was pregnant, and yes yes she is...shes just being a fruit cake...

Awe, poor Jelly bean! At least she put her mind to it and kept them all in until she got home!!

Hu? Oh no I appreciated the humor, I didn't reply negatively? Actually I was laughing when I typed it because you dont know how many people on my end have been pointing out how long shes been in "the beginnings of labor" ugh...
I was just pointing out that im not crazy to make myself feel less crazy, @_@
I've actually been ignoring her and only checking once in the morning during feeding and once at night. No one can figure out why shes acting like this though, the vets best guess was a hormone fluctuation.
