You may not need the milk. And you may not want another job to do. But your doe might need you to milk her to keep her from getting sore and mastitis....
Milk her out almost completely then put the kids on her. If she is making so much milk milk her once a day. Some does just have to be milked while they have kids on them. If she is temder she will not let them nurse. Weight each kids and make sure they are growing daily.

That looks like boy junks. Grew up on a hog farm and saw a lot of that. When the male does his thing the last part is kinda like a plug of sorts to keep it in her for a while so eggs get fertilized. It could also be her mucus plug. Both look very similar. Heat discharge is very not gelatinous...
