do all pregnant rabbits experience behavioral changes?

[FolkSonginC]

My mini rex doe is 30 days pregnant (in theory). My buck had at least 6 good fall offs, so I'm assuming there's no reason she wouldn't be pregnant, but I read rabbits usually go through behavioral changes and become less friendly, or even aggressive, during pregnancy. But when I go to check on her she comes right up to me and asks to be petted. Does this mean she's not pregnant? This is probably a stupid question, but this is my first time breeding rabbits. The other thing is she was bred in the evening, so should I expect babies on day 32? I'm very nervous and excited that she might give birth tomorrow, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. Any advice is appreciated. It might be my imagination but her belly looks pretty big, or at least bigger than I remember it being before 30 days ago.

Not all does exhibit behavioral changes. Good luck for a successful kindling.

I just went and checked on her and I saw little kicks! I'm so excited!

Okay, now is the time to leave her alone. As she begins to build her nest and concentrating on having her kits it is important to not disturb her. Good luck and patience.

If you can find someone to teach you what to feel for, it's worth it to learn to palpitate for pregnancy- best done about 11-12 days in.
Most does will at least start lining the nest by a day or two before kindling, but some never do and first timers are less predictable. My angora never stopped being sweet, but I had a silver Martin who would bite if you looked at her wrong the last couple of days.

ETA- I just saw your post. Congratulations! Good luck with the kits! Pics once you/she are ready, please! (but, of course, don't disturb her for them)

yeah I tried to palpate her on day 12 and I had no idea what I was doing lol. The breeder I got her from said she's had several successful litters before, so I'm assuming she knows what to do, although she hasn't started nesting yet. But I've read some don't nest until the last minute
Edit: I will definitely update with pics!

Do you have other does? It's a lot easier if you have one to compare to.
I miss having rabbits, maybe once I have a little more time...

I have one senior doe of a different breed (I don't know what, she's an early childhood pet) and her belly is definitely not as big, but I wasn't sure because I thought it might be due to different body types. I'm also super excited to see what colors I get, my doe is a castor and my buck is a broken blue tort, and all I know is that there's a 50% chance of brokens.

She just built her nest! today was day 31 and since she just started nesting is it safe to assume she'll have them tomorrow? She looks like she's about to explode, her belly is enormous and and you can see the kits moving around in there. Also is it likely that she's carrying a big litter because her belly is so big? she looks like a balloon
