Has your bunny been exposed to any males?
A rabbit will get pregnant by most successful matings. Therefore, if it happened, then count on offspring.
However, a female rabbit will often build a nest if there's a buck nearby (even an outdoor wild bunny) and even if she plucks fur from her belly it may still be a 'false pregnancy.' If she's truly pregnant then you will feel swollen teats, an enlarged abdomen, especially a few days before. I have had rabbits where I could feel the kits moving inside the mum and depending on the size of the doe, she will also be huge just before. Unmistakably.
Otherwise, if you know the day approximately that she was exposed to the male then they give birth in 28-32 days.

God I hate when people answer I don't know  - THEN don't ANSWER!

How long do you think she has been pregnant? Are you sure she is pregnant?
Has she been pulling out her hair?

When/If you are moving her, try to feel her (lower) abdomen with a light-medium touch - you are feeling for marble-sized bumps in her belly - if you can feel - more then 1 or 2 - then she is more then likley pregnant, and as she has been nesting for about 2 days (with hair pulling - an early nest would be grass or hay) she could give birth anytime from now to 2 more days from now

Remember that if she does have babies you will have 7 - 15 more bunnies to deal with

I've had as little as 2 babies and as many as 13... Message me if you need any further help. It is difficult to feel for 'marbles' and is only accurate if you know what you're looking for. If it's too soon then you won't be able to feel anything...
