Welcome, do you have a possible due date? It's possible, how long was she exposed/running with a buck?

not knowing the dates will make it more of a challenge for sure. Hopefully some others will take a look and give you some feed back. Some does will develop their udder before kidding and others wait till kidding. Are you able to check her ligaments right by the tail on her body- this will get looser as she gets closer to kidding.
You can always talk with your vet and/or have a preg. test run on her- the test will only tell you she is or isn't not how far along

so you ended up with the buck as well?
we have only had goats for almost a year now, some of our does who aren't bred yet could be mistaken for being preg.

I don't go by the "pooch test" as some call it. I watch to see if the does go back into heat and wait for udder development.

She could just be fat. I've got a doe that stays that fat with access to ample brush. Makes it hard to tell when she's bred. However she's a good teaser goat for bucks in rut... She flags hard.
Your doe might be bred if she was running with a buck. Watch her. Like the others said, she will go back into heat if she's not.
