Is my goat pregnant?

We purchased 2 tennessee fainting goat does in early March. We were told they were 5 months old. One of the two seems to be getting extremely wide. They are both acting perfectly normal, and mixing well with 6 young pygmies(5 wethers and 1 doe). I know she was with active bucks prior to her arrival here. How can I tell for sure whether or not she is pregnant,and if so when is she due? I'd rather not take her to the vet if I can avoid it. Unfortunately the other doe appears as though it may be a hermaphrodite which I recently found out is possible in polled goats. We're still new at this, but learning REALLY quickly. Thanks for your help
