Honestly, unless she's severely undersized or malnourished, she should be fine. Don't over feed her, especially in the last month of gestation or you risk the lamb(s) growing too large.

Here she is enjoying the sunshine with Rosie and Clover. I actually think she will go late may or early june, because her mommas udder started about 2 months before she lambed.

The more I look at her the more I picture her with a lamb.

Lily is doing nicely, but she is BIG. She may have twins in there but who am I kidding shes so small it will most likely be a single. Im slightly startled by how much she looks like mom.

If anyone is wondering Lily is doing great. She has her tail lifted alot lately so I guessing there is alot of pressure on her insides. Clover and Rosie are doing great and they have all bonded really well :celebrate

You can finally see Lily's Teeny tiny udder from behind but its improvement. Also.. I SAW MOVEMENT TODAY! It was awesome.

Our final guess is she will be due mid-late june :D

Ohh I hope someone replies :confused:

I know you're getting excited! Maybe you'll be able to tell when she 'drops' - they get a hollowed out area in front of their hip-bones. With mine that generally meant less than a week to go.

Good luck on lambing. Hope all goes well. She will be about 14 months old by then and as long as you don't over feed her now she should lamb fine. Overfeeding will cause the baby to put on weight. If you are really worried you can ask the vet if he can check her with an ultra sound or x-ray when she is nearly at term to see how big the baby is. That way if the baby is too big you can arrange for the c-section. She will probably be okay and it is normal for ewelings to lamb around 14 months old. I know it will be hard not being on the property to keep an eye on her. Do you have a friend who could check on her during the day? Have you access to a travel trailer or camper to stay in by the barn or field where she is? Be sure to let us know how she does.
