So I had recently added three does to my herd of goats almost three weeks ago, two bred and one unbred. The thing is the one that wasn’t supposed to be pregnant seems to be the most pregnant out of the three.
I’ve never bred goats in the past so this is my first time handling pregnant goats. I have no idea how far along she is and thought for sure she would have kids last week. But still no signs her having kids anytime soon.

her ligaments are getting pretty soft. I can’t pinch my fingers together like I’ve read bit it’s pretty close, just about an inch and a half away. Her udder has bagged up quite a bit over the last 20 days as well, any guesses?

This is her 20 days ago

Yes those are the two biggest things to look for I think. With mine their bags got so fallen hard it looks like they're about to explode right before. And I noticed them not being as eager for food and a little standoffish shortly before they went into labor That's what I noticed with mine and the entire day before both of mine gave birth I would see them scraping their hooves on the ground and pacing but not really leaving the area they've chosen. Mine are a very very different breed but I think those things might be standard
