I completely understand!! When she’s real close, the ligaments above tail will get mushy like you described. Also teats will engorge and stick almost straight out. Her bag is filling up, she’s almost there!
Our first sheep were 4 bred ewes. I bed checked them every night before I went to bed and first thing next morning, even before coffee. I still have one of those ewes, Ewenique, she’s 11 years old and due in December. She always has twins, is a good mom and a big pet. My ewe.
I didn't get pictures this morning, but my husband "put them to bed" and when she turned around while we were in there this morning he and I both did the "WHOAH!" And my husband commented on the drastic change from last night so heres hoping
Today would be a great day for her to lamb - it's my FIL's birthday and he's been a VERY grouchy old cattle rancher about this whole venture.... so it would be fitting for the first lamb to drop and share his birthday
