The white one looks pregnant the brown one looks a Lil preg gos I always bump my girls at 2 months I find it best if u do this before they eat u put your hands above the udders in push up in a Lil against the rumen if it's tight about 95 percent they r pregnant if squishy or soft they r probably not

No way to really tell without testing. Any kind of external check by feeling the stomach is a guess really. Some people say they can tell by look at the vulva/tail web area and I will say that I can tell a difference in a doe's puffiness back there when they are pregnant, but that too is really a guess. For accuracy, you can check for signs of heat, call a vet to ultrasound, or send in blood for testing through several companies.

Udder building (folks normally refer to them as udders and not bags as a side note) is a decent sign but you would have to be the judge of that to know if they have any development. First time does seem easier to tell than subsequent pregnancies because, at least with my does, their pre-pregnancy teats and udder are tiny and nearly flush with their bellies to begin with. Second and later pregnancies in a doe are not as easy to tell by udder until late in pregnancy since they already have some teat length and growth from prior births.
