This is our first freshener. Not sure when Her due date is but it's close. She started developing her bag, and her vulva got puffy about 70 days ago( 3 months) 3 days ago I noticed creamy white discharge. 2 days ago she had a little blood on her back legs towards the bottom of them. It was the only time we noticed any. We also noticed when she was laying down or squatting to pee or poo her lady bits would open up quite a bit. We expected babies. None came. Yesterday and so far today no blood or discharge. She has continued wanting to forage and eat her food. She isn't acting any different, except for acting like she's starved, and being lazier.

They can have discharge. I'd keep an eye on her.

Her sides look like they are dropping
What I could see of the udder,it looks to be filling. I would watch very closely the next 3 or 4 days.

Is this normal?! It's much more prominent when she's laying down. Saw it when I went to check her before I went to bed. She'd been pawing and layed down just to get back up and layed down and that's when I looked and saw it. When she stood again it went away after a minute. She layed back down and hasn't moved for 30 min now and seems to be sleeping. Her breathing is a little more labored but she seems normal now. Except for it buldging still while she lays there with her eyes closed.

I'd go in and check. See if her cervix is open. Make sure there is no distocia.

She felt soft but I couldn't feel any dialation (also have no idea what I'm doing) She still just layed there most of the night sleeping. Only getting up to readjust. Last night her lagaments were barely there. This morning they are completely gone. She is still eating and drinking. And still can feel baby movements.

She is making loud noises and seems to be pushing a little but stands up and walks off a and it goes back in and then she lays back down. Still eating.

If she is prolapsing, it is what is causing her to push. You may have to gently push it back into place to stop that.

If she goes into true pushing labor, the prolapse will have to be in proper position so she can have her babies.
You need to be there for her when she does kid.

^^^ I agree! I would also start giving her some calcium. A few things can cause a prolapse, genetics, large load of kids and or weight, and lack of calcium. Genetics you can’t do much about, she doesn’t look over weight or like she has a super large load, so that leaves calcium. You can try putting some prep. H on and see if that shrinks it down some, another option is clean it up and put sugar on it to shrink it but I would hold off on that unless it starts staying out all the time.

She won't stay laying down for me to try. I have her on a leash. When she stands it immediately goes back inside her, only bulges when she is laying down.

If it is going immediately back in, then it is kids pushing it out. They can hide their kids well and have more than you think. Calcium certainly won't hurt her.

I agree.

Nothing you can do when it does that other than watching her. If it goes back in when she stands, that is good.

If she tries to have her babies laying down, there may be issues so be there for her and gently push it back into place and help her deliver them.

she has been having contractions and been pushing. But not pushing super hard or straining. This has been going on for over 12 hours now.i called the vet he said it sounded like false labour. Just checked her and now the streamy mucus is red. It was yellowish/white the last 12 hours. Legamnets have been gone for over 24 hours now.

Last night she was pushing and the bulge appeared but I could also see her vaginal opening as well but nothing was pushing out of that. It only went on for a little bit. Then everything slowed down. I saw tons of crazy baby movements as well all night.

Have you gloved up, and put your hand in her, while she is having contractions? To see if her cervix is opening? You can gently rub your fingers in a circular motion, during contractions, to help her open up.

I hope the kids are out by now. If not, get the vet out now.
