Hope I don't jinx it by posting, but I think my FF Ivy, a Pygora/Nubian cross is in early labour. Big tight udder, goo from her whoo ha and I think ligs are gone, not too good at that yet. Also, her hind end is trembling. Have her in the stall with my other FF who also may be starting, her udder is very large and tight but has been for a few days. Anyway, going to be an up and down night here, checking on them. Will have my camera with me. Very cold but have the heat lamp. Wish us luck.

Well, it's definitely labour, lots of goo now, up and down, back leg straight out bracing herself when she has a contraction. I'm so excited I could wet myself, in fact had to come in before that happened, its so cold. Gonna put extra socks and gloves on and get a blanket and head back out for the duration. Wonder how long it will take, anyway, for sure will post with results. Have had kiddings before but never one that I was actually there for. Whoo hoo, can you tell I'm stoked?

Good luck!!!! Dress warmly, but don't take too long...sometimes birthing goes quickly at that stage and don't want you to miss it!!!!
