Silly me, edited because I was totally posting on the wrong thread........(quitely sneaks in, earases post, and tiptoes out)......

She's still showing only pre-labor signs. I think those "contractions" I was seeing was just stretches to get the kids in position. Her discharge is still white and sticky and has no smell. No blood tinged fluids. I checked on her several times last night and no changes. She doesn't seem in any real distress or pain. I'll keep yall posted.

Good luck on the birth.

If it makes you feel any better, I used to just swear goats were in labor and sleep in the barn and get all het up....a week or so in advance. I mean I was CONVINCED the blessed even was imminent....then nada.

Goats just LOVE to make fibbers out of us.

I think I found a buckling, he's a 4 hr trip away...what do you want to bet that the very minute I plan to leave in the am....someone will go into labor?

Absolutely! My husband wants to go on a date tonight. As soon as we leave the driveway, she will probably start pushing.

The good thing is that the weather is going to be really nice (temperature wise, anyhow) through the next 4-5 days. Around 70-ish today and tomorrow, and in the mid-50s later.

I was sure ligs on one of my does were soft and since she has bagged up 2 weeks ago, I was sure she was going to deliver this weekend. No kids and today, nice firm ligs. Where were they on Thurs????????? According to breeding dates I saw, not due till Feb,but one is absolutely huge. I think I saw baby move yesterday. Oh the waiting is hard.

Not sure about everyone else because ya'll seem to be VERY experienced with this but.............I NEVER feel ligaments LOL. I just don't know what I am feeling, never have.

Once you get some experience you will learn the ligament thing. Just do a lot of feeling before hand and you will eventually learn the difference.

And I was thinking I would be seeing a "they are here" thread!
