Is my Goat Pregnant?

[enolderman]

I just wanted to pop this question up to make sure. I am 80% sure she is but would love some info anyway. First off her belly is larger than normal. I have two other does that are smaller around the belly. Also her utter is getting big, but there is no milk coming out yet I figure it won't come out til the babies are born. I will get a few pictures of here and post em. Thanks for any info!!!

If she is getting an udder, she more than likely is pregnant. No milk will come out until either you milk her or the kids start nursing. There is a wax like plug in the end of each teat, it is a good idea to milk her enough to remove the plug and a tiny bit of milk comes out after the kids are born and before they try to nurse. It makes it easier for them to get the colostrum they need. Good luck with them, and of course we love pictures of goats, big and small.

You shouldn't pull on the teats and try to get milk to come out until, after she kids. You are opening up the orifices in her teats, and increasing the chances of giving her mastitis.

Thanks everyone for all the good feedback. It is a blessing to get this little baby today considering it is my birthday also!! On a serious note we think there might be another baby in there is it possible for there births to be spaced out a day or two? It would seem that would be the case but she looks big still, could tell if there was another in there by feeling I felt hard spots and soft spots. There is still blood and mucus coming out of her. Also here is a few pics of the new baby. Enjoy It would be great help if anyone new about the other baby.

We put a little dog sweater on here to keep her warm gonna be near 30 degrees tonight for her first.
