Our goat is expected to have her first babies one of these days.
Normally she's very social, 'talking' to us when we enter the barn. Today she isn't. She's laying on her straw bed, stands up when we enter, then stands still, doesn't eat hay today, bows her head a little, gives a very passive impression. No couching, sneezing or discharges from eyes or nose. Passing some stool, the pellets look excellent and as usual. No bloating. Some teeth grinding. Her eyes are bright. Her udder looks unchanged: it's not swollen and there's no milk. We gave her some goat/sheep food pellets to eat and she ate them directly. She has 24/7 access to fresh water.
Since she's almost lethargic, we took her temperature. It's too high: 40,8°C.
What could be wrong?

wow – great info on that website!!
(but no signs of labor yet – not sure if there's a relation between her fever and the expected delivery. fever is usually a _bad_ sign for goats expecting babies.)

Yes, it is an excellent home page! :D But a goat with fever and no energy, in addition grinding her teeth (sign of pain) is really no good - pregnant or not pregnant. Do you by any chance have a vet you could call for advice?
