Full blown panic has set in. Question about the doe

[porkchop48]

Ligaments are gone. You can darn near touch your fingers around her tail.

My flighty nubian is now an almost cuddly nubian. I came home to a good amount of whitish clear good on her hoo ha and no ligaments. She is hlding her tail a bit funky too. Almost at a bent angle.



That is me right now. Coldest night we have had in a long time. Gas is out in the barn but closed up enough it is still about 60 in there

She is stretching and arching her back.

Panic has set in.

60 is a wonderful temp for babies!! i would have been happy for that. it was 12 and 6ish when my two sets were born and the electric bill had doubled with that freakin red heat bulb on.


good luck on a safe and easy birth!!

awaiting pics!!

Just came back in.

She keep getting this odd look in her eyes, wide eyed look and then stands real still. You see her belly area getting real tight and then she goes back to chewing. Hoo Ha is looking very puffy and more goo coming out.

I am getting in the shower now, clipping nails and then going to get the energy drink and head back out. I do have to work in the morning so I have a stand in "mid wife" that will come sit with her.

Atleast it is a short day tomorrow.

She is not huge ( preggo wise) so I am thinking she may only have one. First time mom and daddy is an Alpine.

Breathe. I need to breathe.

Very exciting, could be any time or a few hours still. Hoping all goes well, but most of all have a lot of fun and enjoy the moment.

Oh boy! My excitement is together with yours!
