Thanks for your replies, was worried that the lamb/s would turn inside and result in difficulties for the ewe when giving birth.
My thought was also concern that the feet would move and wouldn't come first.

Thanks Princesslayer 

One of my remaining three has gone into labour this morning so that'll be two with lambs by Sunday (when the shearer is due) and two still pregnant. The main reason I'm concerned is because one of the pregnant ones is one that had difficulties last year. They all lamb outside and this one (my favourite) had one of the lambs kick its umbilical cord off, subsequently died and then got all tangled up with the remaining lamb. It was a nightmare to get them both out and she was exhausted. She also got mastitis, which didn't help her bond with her lamb! Luckily I managed to save her quarter so if she does have multiples this year then she should be able to feed them fine.

I'd never forgive myself if something happened to one of the ewes. They are pet sheep and part of the family. I don't mind if the fleece all comes off in bits if it means that the ewes won't need to be tipped. I'll see what the shearer says. Maybe he can do the lambed ones and come back for the other two when they've lambed.
