She's having a few contraction I'm going back out now

No more contractions that I but the ones I did see were small. She is having some white goo and it's slowly changing to clear.

What a sweet little (ok, maybe not so "little") girl! Congrats! But.... wait... did my eyes deceive me? I thought I read "baby number 1"? Is there another, or possibly more than another, that you've yet to share with us?

Okay so I'm not sure if I should be worried but she hasn't had another I thought for sure twins or triplets there is no placenta hanging out and when I bumped her I am not sure I felt anything but I swear there is still a kid she had her about 2 hours ago and no placenta so I just went in her I almost got half way to my elbow I felt what felt like lots of good and I think I felt an ear but not sure. How do I know if she is done besides bumping and a placenta. Should I be worried? I can take some pics if you want

Ummmm... Is she still pushing? There should have been a 2nd kid by now if she's has one. Has the first kid nursed yet? That is supposed to cause mom to contract and help eliminate the placenta. I don't own goats yet, but from my reading and study, I think/believe normally with multiple kids, if it hasn't happened (follow on birth) within 30 minutes or so it's kind of a cause for concern... after 2 hours, I'd be pretty concerned... But if there isn't a second kid, it might take a while longer for mom to pass the placenta.

You said you already went in and "thought" you felt an ear... Maybe you should go see if it was an ear or not? I'd be more feeling for a nose/mouth or hooves/legs... An "ear" might just be a folded over portion of the uterine wall... If you can't find another for sure kid, I'd just monitor mom and see if she eventually passes the placenta. I wouldn't let her out to roam as I'd want to make sure it's passed.

I might get a vet involved. Two hours is a long time. Can you feel any kicking?
