hit the wrong button with that NM lol... i dont know about the gas part, but one sign to know the cow is close is they will almost always separate themselves from the herd and go off to have the calf... if she has done this and is laying down and getting up like she is restless.... if this continues on for several hours, my advise is you need to get her up and check her out... see what is happening in there... the calf may be in a wrong postition for normal delivery or just plain too big...
good luck
