Jennifer


Okay so im not totally stupid when it comes to being pregnant i have a two year old and i did every bit of research i could possible do when i was pregnant with him. but now me and my husband have been trying for another baby...(we didnt try with my two year old, he was a suprise!) so anyways we have been trying and were hurt when we found out that we were pregnant but that my pregnancy would more than likely turn out to be a miscarriage! ...and it did. so ive gotten my period since then and were back on track trying again. i have a calender on my phone that keeps up with my periods and when we have sex when im supposedly ovulating and fertile...its to early for me to test now but im hoping im pregnant again! so i was curious on what are some EXTREMLY early signs when you found out you were prengnat and what are some tips on getting pregnant in case im not!! im def. hoping to get pregnant and find out before christmas!! thanks!

The early signs varies. I'm pregnant with my first and as weird as it sounds two days after sex my period was due and never came. This past Sept, had sex 22nd due, 24th all the regular symptoms no blood. Then brown discharge, on Oct 5th, spotting the 8th. Finished spotting yesterday. Pregnancy symptoms bloating, peeing 2-3 hours, nausea, head ache, pain ny my belly button, side hurts after prolongation time sitting, wake up starving! Did blood work yesterday :) . Mine wasn't plan however I'm happy. I think you should put pressure on it, just enjoy it, unscheduled.

Hi,
I bought my miking doe Brandi on February 25th. The owner I bought her from said she was heavily pregnant, and she looked it, even though her udder was still small, however, I read that goats can bag up even after the kids are born. Anyway, when I brought her home, she started getting skinier, even though she was still plump. I presumed she was not pregnant, she has had kids before. Over the last month, she has been having small amounts of discharge, in the colours of brown, clear and white, and I put this down to heat. I took her to see my buck, and he was not interested in her at all, and he loves girls, even when they are not in heat. Our other pregnant doe, has also had discharge which Brandi has had, so I am wondering, is Brandi pregnant? Today, brandi seems quite different. When I went to see her, she seemed skinier, however, she looked very low to the ground. I waited, and Brandi urinated for literally 2 minutes, and I thought she had finished, she then urinated for another minute, and I have never seen a goat urinate for that long. Her udder is not filled at all, and I have never felt the kids kick, however, I never really tried to feel for long, however, on one occasion, I thought I felt a soft kick twice, which I felt under her stomach and I thought I felt something else on her right side. Brandi has her tail sticking straight out, she also raises her head and stares into space for ages, and her eyes always look very glassy eyed.
Do you think she is pregnant? How far along is she? Do you think she will kid soon? Do you think she comes into heat? Does she have an infection? What are the signs of labor in goats? How can you tell if a goat is pregnant? Does a goats temperature drop right before she kids?

Please help.
Thanks.

hello, I'm How-cast! here is some tips.
Goats and sheep sometimes look quite similar, and their pregnancy and gestation are similar. Both have their breeding seasons in early fall, and both give birth in spring, with gestation periods averaging around 150 days, though the exact gestation period varies from breed to breed. Goats and sheep both show early signs of pregnancy, but these aren't always easy to spot, and you may need help from your veterinarian. The easiest way to determine if a goat or sheep is pregnant is if she doesn't go into a heat cycle within about 3 weeks of having been bred. This is easier to determine if you know the last breeding date, but more difficult if the animal has been grazing freely with males.
A goat in estrus is more obvious than a sheep. A doe will wag her tail constantly, bleat as though she's in pain, become aggressive and even attempt to mount other females. Her milk production may decrease slightly. The vulvas of both goats and sheep (particularly those that have never been bred before) become slightly swollen during estrus and may look wet or dirty because of extra discharge. Does and ewes will be very interested in rams during estrus, which lasts 24 to 36 hours and should occur every 18 to 22 days.

Early Pregnancy Signs
# A sheep or goat that is pregnant will be calmer and have an increased appetite. After 12 weeks, the abdomen should begin to swell. This can be hard to notice in goats that already have round abdomens, so sometimes measuring the abdomen regularly after breeding can help. If, after 6 weeks, the diameter of the doe's abdomen has increased by more than an inch, she is probably pregnant.
Check by Hand
# The belly of a goat or sheep that is pregnant should feel different from that of one that is not. If pregnancy is suspected 6 weeks after breeding, gently poke the area in front of the udder with your fingers. A pregnant animal's belly will feel tighter (this technique takes some practice to develop). Later in the pregnancy, at around 3½ months, you should be able to feel fetal movement with your hands by pressing this area in front of the udder.
Milk Production
# If the ewe or doe is a milker, you will notice a sharp drop in milk production when the animal is pregnant. The udder may look flat, and milk may all but dry up. The udder will swell again in later stages of pregnancy (around 15 weeks) as the animal's body prepares to feed her young.
Pregnancy Tests
# If you're still not sure your animal is pregnant, there are blood and urine tests available to check. These tests should be given around 50 days gestation to be accurate, though your vet may have a test that can be given sooner. After 60 days gestation, an ultrasound can be performed on the animal to verify pregnancy. Ultrasounds are used more commonly on goats because their round abdomens make swelling hard to detect.
