tricky kidding

[Goatgirl47]

I am still waiting for one of my does to kid. She was due today, and this morning her belly was bigger then I have ever seen it before. Her udder was also fuller and tighter than usual, and she kept pawing the ground and then laying down - she kept this up for awhile. Whenever I came outside (I was watching from the window for some time) she would act like nothing was wrong. This evening, still no new kids, and she looks and acts completely fine. I'll have to see what tomorrow brings.

Good luck with your girl and I hope it's soon!

Same for you! I can see the baby moving into position and movement in her hips. She just went and laid down. I am going to let her be for now.

She is arching her back and not even nibbling food. She is chewing her cud, so I know she is okay. She is Pawling the ground and every once and awhile she is pausing and spacing out. I believe we really are in active labor!!

Yes! Last night around 6:00 I locked Kendall up because it was going to rain hard most of the night, and I thought she would surely kid soon. At about 9:00 p.m. I went out and checked on her, felt for her ligaments - which I could barely feel - then I tried to feel her kids, and yep, I could feel them, so I thought "well, she won't kid tonight because I can still feel her kids (somewhere on this forum someone said that you can't feel kids kicking or anything for a few days before the doe kids)!"

This morning when I went out there she had two little kids with her! One doeling and one buckling. They are just soooo pretty - I'll get pictures as soon as I can!

How's your doe?

Aw, I love them!
Nope nothing yet. I don't understand. I thought for sure yesterday. She stopped eating and was just laying around and arching her back when she did get. The baby moved at times but nothing. Today she is eating and acting like nothing is wrong. She better go soon. Life is about to get real crazy for me. Our business is up and running for the season and my sons best friend is in chop. He is six! I am taking the rest of the crew so mom and dad can be at the hospital and work. They don't know why his body is failing. The other five don't really know about it either. Just sad but I have faith in God. He has a plan and all I can do is pray.
Anyway sorry for venting.
Nothing yet but I pray soon. And as soon as I know you all will know! Lol

So the baby is up in the canal for sure! He or she kicked me when I pushed a little on her belly. It looked as if the kid disappeared from her side all together.
Though she is still eating and comfortable. My friend at bible study today said maybe the other night she was having a hard time going bm. Lol she is a goatie and for years. She prompted me to go check the baby to see if it was moving. Like said she is. Thank God. Well though frustrated I have just excepted that this is what it is. Lol
