I responded to your p.m. . just in case you did not get it. Tearing up everything in her kennel, or in her path is the indication she is in labor now she is about to have the babies now. You are going to have to assist her perhaps. The kennel might be too small for her. Potbelly's generally have five to six babies. She is going to need plenty of room. It is going to be very messy. Be careful if she delivers in the kennel, if she gets startled, she can trample the babies being scared being a first-time mother. She is about to become a Sow. since you said at 11:30 last night in your p.m. this was going on. I am sure she is delivering right now. This is very exciting times for you. You will have your hands full. Good luck. I hope everything is well right now. Don't forget to post pics.

you may consider the fact that she may deliver the babies while you are in transit to the veterinary office. she is a first time mother she is very confused. She's scared. Instinct will come into play after the pigs are delivered. she might not be able to handle the stress of being driven in a kennel across town to a Veterinary Clinic. A mobile vet would be better suited for this situation if in fact she is in labor which I am almost positive she is.

also after the piglets are delivered, her mood will change. she will become aggressive if you try to interact with her piglets. she will be very protective. You are going to want to set up a nursery pin for her so she can do her motherly instincts of protecting the babies.
