How cute. 
MellonFriend's First Ever Kidding Thread 2021

Day 149 for Prim. Her ligs might be changing, but I'm not sure. Can they get lower down, but still feel hard? I feel like her udder isn't as full as it could be, and I don't think her babies are quite dropped. Vulva looks more puffy than it has been. I thought for sure she'd be looking more ready today. :waiting: We are in the clear for cold night time temperatures at least. :happygoat:

Looks like she can fill more but she’s getting closer
Yes, the ligs can move down and still remain harder, but it’s also good to keep a close eye because they can go mushy kind of quickly.
Looking good though! I’ll be stalking and waiting for updates!
Best of luck

Are Prim & Cocoa sisters from another Mr. Lol. Reading this was like deja vu. Coms on Prim! You can do it!!
Haha! They must be!
I think her udder has filled more since I took that picture and she was doing a little pawing, although that may just have been toward Bella who was doing some challenging through the fence.
I was double checking my kidding supplies, and I can't seem to find my bulb syringe. If Prim kids tonight, I won't have it. Anything I can use instead if I need it? Do you think a normal syringe (no needle of course) would work?

So would I pinch between the nostrils or more like the whole nose?
False alarm. We found a smaller bulb syringe in our medicine cabinet. So no worries. I would still be interested in pro newborn nose pinching technique though.
I think her udder is even fuller than when I took that picture this morning. My gut says she's not going to kid tonight, but I could be wrong.

Not a pro, but I had a friend who showed me how to do it and it worked really well, I was surprised. I still keep my bulb asparator handy but it’ll work in a pinch (no pun intended )
You just put a little pressure on the sides of their nose and they’ll sneeze.

Go Prim, go!
Nothing yet! (doh) I haven't seen her yet today, but my mom says, she's acting normal, and no discharge, so we will see.:bonk:

Lord of the Rings was way before Gremlins lol. I think Gizmo is an adorable name for your boy
No, I actually haven't. I have her trapped in the back of the barn stall with her babies behind a piece of fencing, and it would be kind of tough for me to let her out twice a day and lead her to the garage. Since she had no trouble with the stand I figured I'd just wait for conveniences sake.
Still not a thing. She's been grazing in the pasture and not acting different at all. Udder's getting bigger and I can barely feel her ligaments, but she's holding out on us! Doe code strikes again!
