Hate to say this...but from the pics...you could still have a bit of wait for her to lamb...her udder is the size of my Dixie who is not due until the end of this month or beginning of May. Hope I'm wrong...I know this is making you worry...and I'm no vet...this is just my opinion from the pics.

When Dolly's panting went away, I'm guessing the twin lambs in there moved and were no longer pushing on her lungs.

Everything I've read has talked about ewes staring off in the distance, leaving the rest of sheep and going off feed...not one of mine has ever done that all these years...they didn't read the books ;)

bonbean, that is exactly the kind of thing I've been worried about as well :D

Most sheep have most definitely not been told about the "signs of impending lambing."

bonbean, did Dixie's belly get big before she lambed?
Or was it pretty steadily a small belly?
HER LAMB IS ADORABLE, LOOK AT THAT SWEET FACE.
Heh heh, what a surprise! Her udder must have swelled right at he last minute!!!

I'm trying to determine whether Diana is gonna lamb sometime next month!!!
She really doesn't have an udder, AND her belly is not that big! :\
I don't know if this is a way of telling or not, but right in front of her udder, her belly is tight, like real tight.
I compared to Pax's belly in the same area, and Pax's belly is kind of squishy in front of her udder.
C'MON DIANA GIVE ME BABIES.
