how much should the baby move?

You'll know when she's in labor. They paw the ground, they have discharge and the ligs go, they also will talk gently to their bellies or you. The udder a will get big and shiny as well usually. But everyone is very different. They will also make you think they are in labor some times and play games with you.... Doe code.

Lmfao I've heard about this doe code... and am begging her not to have it next week because we have a serious snow fall Over the entirety of the week. But God knows if she has it early then it will be then

Lol yep. I will hope it's not early for you!

I hope she won't do that... she has become a lot more cuddly and vocal recently plus she's always cleaning her right side which idk if that means anything but I sat down in her little hut today and she just walked over to me and plopped herself down using me as a head rest... she is adorable atleast in my opinion. But she constantly paces too... oh please don't let her be early

The kids will start getting into position soon. I think that is also adorable. When I let my girls out to graze while I am home, in the summer I will lay a towel down and try to tan some and they will all lay around me and up against me lol. I love that.

I've never been through it but I've seen and heard others go through it for 8weeks recently... It really isn't a sure thing from anything I've seen.

I totally understand. I did the same thing with our dog. 55# collie accidentally got bred by our 145# st Bernard mix male. She was also too young. We thought she'd go early as she was so miserable. But she held off to her due date. Don't stress too bad unless something is actually wrong. Even then, you'll need to remain calm in a crisis no matter how hard it is to do so. It'll be ok.

Thanks lol.... sometimes I wish I had been home over new years to see my neighboors dairy cow birth just so I had an idea what to expect for my goat... ( ik totally different animals but still I think it would help me) but I wasn't ... so going into this blind it is ...
