when can you feel kids?

[ohiogoatgirl]

both of my does are due about May 18. i think i may have felt kicking once but i've never tried to feel it so it could have been anything
***what area do you usually feel for kicks?
the area i might have felt kicks is the lower belly in front of the does back legs.
***do you feel kicks on one side more then the other?
i felt the kicks on the right side. i feel for kicks on the left but havent felt anything that i thought were kicks.

thanks!!!

The right side is the "kid side" as the left is the general area where their rumen is. Not much kicking going on in there!
Hooray, it sounds like she's pregnant!

I felt my goat's kids kicking while she was laying down next to me, it's a really cool experience, especially if this is your first time having goats kid!

well today i held both hands on the does belly while on the stand while they ate and i felt quite a few kicks. on the right side mostly but two or three on the left side and belly. she is rather round and i'm thinking she's got twins or trips hiding in there *please*please*please*please*please*

on the smaller doe i only felt a few kicks and they were on the belly, just in front of her udder. on her i didnt feel any on either side just on the belly. and not nearly as much as the larger doe. i'm thinking she is only has one in there...

this is not my first rodeo with goats kidding. my parents had a small dairy herd. but this is my first year with them being MY goats. i mean they were my goats too when my parents milked but its different when YOU put all the work into them.

I WANT SOME BABIES!!!!
all these kid pics are teasing me

someone told me they feel for kids after day 60 but usually feel them after day 75 and that later in the pregancy they dont feel kicks b/c the kids are filling up all the space in there and cant kick much...? :/
