Hey y'all. Newbie here with my gals Coco and Zeppy. We're all new to this kidding thing. My girls are FF and Coco is due March 6-7, and Zeppy is due any time between March 6 & April 10. I think Zeppy is likely due between March 13 and 20th though based on heat signs and a messy rear end.

Does she get exercise? Can you put a cinder block or something for her to put her front feet on, so she can work on getting the kids in position?
I don't know the answer if you should be worried, I only had two kiddings myself.
I am hoping someone else will have better advice. @GoofyGoat@SalteyLove@happybleats
She has a decent sized pen. She's often walking around. There is a platform, milk crate, cinder block, and wall that I've seen her put her front feet up on.
She honestly doesnt act like she's in distress. Still eating, still chewing cud. Her ligaments are still gone which gives me hope that we're closer to active labor. They've been coming and going for a few days though.
I keep watching for tail arching, a floppy and hooked tail, triangle teats, head pushing, pawing, yawning... anything to tell me something is changing and we're moving along. Her udder is so big though. It's hard to get a photo showing its size.
I'm on day 150 with my FF nigerian..I understand the frustration. As long as my girls act fine I don't panic.
Not sure what's up with the slight blood show you talked about but give mom some time.
11:00am update: there's been some contractions I've witnessed. She also just went off by herself. The exterior lean-to wall runs about 2/3 the length of their small pen and she's went behind that to "hide" peaked around the corner and saw her having a contraction! We may have babies on the ground today folks!!
Congratulations! You hit the jackpot! Twin does
My doe Drom kids the first down then stands for the second and third...I’m glad she was just repositioning to give you your second little lady
A bonus baby! Congratulations, that’s fantastic. What a beautiful little family
