She's been nesting periodically going on 4 days now, grinding her teeth and curling her lips out while looking back at her sides... The only real change I'm seeing since Sunday is her vulva slowly turning more pink and less wrinkly. Before Sunday she was acting normal..

Often, when the kids are repositioning for delivery, you will see these actions she is displaying. Won't be as long as it has been, just hang in there. Fortunately, the majority of goats will kid without assistance or issues.

That's what I've been thinking, that the kids aren't in the right position yet, she rubs her sides on the walls quite I bit...

Mine just have their kids when they are supposed to.

Mine just have their kids when they are supposed to.

Mine just have them when they WANT to.

Yes, I have had the udder look pretty small, especially on first timers, but it usually gets bigger right before kidding. One thing about goats...they never go by the book or do it the same as their herd mates.

Well tonight she's still the same, no babies yet. Every time I check on her she's laying down grinding her teeth, curling her lips out and look back at ger sides. I know grinding teeth is a sign of pain so it just sucks watching her like this for so long... No amber discharge yet and she's not pushing at all but I do see that she's having small contractions every so often, her sides will tighten and loosen then stop again.

This morning she is nesting ..AGAIN!.. Arg... This goat is going to drive me batty.

She's also making theses noises that kinda sound like she's humming..???

Maybe if you go out and hum in harmony it will help "sing" those kids out? Just a thought! Hope it happens soon for you.
