Ive decided to keep everything in the 1st post and make sort of a timeline with updates.
I find it harder to look through threads with updates over pages and pages
Her due date is January 19th.
January 9th-
Her udders as of this morning are filled up about the size they did the last time she kidded.. (which didnt fill till RIGHT before she kidded)
Last week she had a bit of dark colored discharged.
A couple days later I found a clear mucous glob on the porch. Not having any other pregnant does I dont know who to blame.
This morning there are a couple blobs of brown mucus on her tail..
As much as Ive read is that sometimes does will have some dark discharge if the kids become stillborn for whatever reason...
She hasnt acted different in anyway for the past week (shes laying down more, but thats normal) and today shes not running anywhere. ...still hungry as a horse though.
Im just scared that discharge this early could be a bad sign?
January 10th-
A lot of itching and nipping at her side. This picture was from that night
January 11-
Her ligaments feel softer and still nipping at her side.
January 12 -
Her udder looks slightly fuller and there is some discharge in the early morning
Im not sure but her tummy looks lower and lower.
Ive seen her do those back stretches over the past couple days
January 14-
Shes acting a little slower today.. I fed her in her stall (which her son snuck into) and she rammed him up against the wall, something Ive never seen her do. Yeah, Ive seen them get pushy for food but never so forceful..
There is a little mucus discharge but just a tad. When she pees its only a little at a time and after shes done she remains in a squat.
Her stomach looks a little lower and she keeps her tail at an arch
January 15-
Shes very pushy towards the other goats today, including her son from last year. Shes mounting the new female goat as well. Her ligaments seem to have hardened back up. Still doing stretches and yawning and sometimes a little bit of a back curl.
Tiny bit of discharge this morning as well.
January 16-
Shes staying with the herd but I also see her straying away at times.. Shes being bossy over food.
Her ligaments feel a little softer than they did at 5:30 this morning (its noon now)
We are suppose to have rain tomorrow.. I dont think its any kind of storm but maybe it will help
Ive also noticed her back end isnt as "pointed" as in previous days
January 18-
She finally kidded on day 149!
I had been in the hospital the night of the 16th and all day the 17th and got home about 3:30 today.
Her ligaments were soft and her sides were hollowed out!
Contractions were coming not far apart and she was up and down up and down. A few minutes later her water broke and after about 15 minutes of pushing out popped a baby. A couple minutes later out popped another baby.
Both boys and both adorable!
Here is a video of her on friday January 6th. Her sides were very active I noticed so I hope this is a good sign

And her udder doesn't look like she's really bagged up yet, but again, I don't know the goat so that's just my opinion from the pics. Looks to me like she's still a few weeks away from kidding.
