Yep! We will be expecting a baby or babies soon! Unfortunately, I don't really know when she was bred so I'm not sure exactly when but I'm guestimating it to be around July 10th based on when I got her and her brother.. Honestly, I could be up to a month or so off... Maybe y'all can help me with the gestational age as well?
When I cupped my hand around her belly just in front of her udder, Her uterus seems to be about the size of a small grapefruit or large orange in width.. I also felt what I think was the head.. It was the size of a golf ball that pushed against my hand, slid sideways and then disappeared.. I cannot find ANYTHING on the net with pictures but I did find a site that has how big a pygmy kid is at different times.. Unfortunately since I cannot feel the entire body, I have no way of knowing how far along she is based on that... Apparently there was something like I am looking for on the net in 2003 but it's since been removed with the entire site! She's already had her CD/T last week and I am just waiting for the Selenium/vitamin E gel to get here from Jeffers... Keeping my fingers crossed for at least twins since it will be much easier on her than a single!

It's been almost a month since I asked what y'all though... Here are some updated pics... Still thinking the same thing? I've given her CD/T and Selenium/vitamin E gel just to be on the safe side..

She a nigerian dwarf.. They have been known to accidentally breed as early as 1 month old... In most cases, it's more like 2 or 3 months old when it happens so it's suggested to keep any bucklings separate after around 8 weeks old..

If it were me, I'd be waiting on babies in the not too distant future. Looks like she is building an udder and her vulva is elongated with the smoothed out area above her anus. I would say she is definitely pregnant.
