She started showing early signs this morning. At 12pm I went out and she had clear goo hanging from her. At 12:30 she was cleaning a healthy lamb. It's now 2:30, she pawing at the ground all over and gritting her teeth but not much else going on.

Do I try and give her privacy, time to call the vet?

If you are concerned, I would restrain her and feel inside and see if you feel another lamb! If there is one in there you will feel it!

I had a vet come out. Nothing inside, apparently she was just laboring to get rid of the placenta for a couple of hours.
