My NZW rabbits take about 30-32 days from mating to birth.
bunnies usually get be pregnant early 4 months... if you keep males and female bunnies together the males will have sex.
bunnies can become pregnant after 24 hrs of giving birth. around 21 days to have the kits(babies). I hope your bunny is okay.
you can check with your vet to check her out.
 
I would pull her onto my lap and cover her eyes. When she's still I'd feel around her lower abdomen semi gently. Roll my fingers over her side's. If preggers kits will be large at this point, they're NZWs. If all feels soft and not hard and lumpy I'd assume she had a false pregnancy and rebreed her. If she has a full, hard lower abdomen, check her bottom/vaginal area. Is there a blockage? Is there A LOT of swelling? Do you see fresh blood anywhere? Is her face clean and white? - if there's a blockage/blood or swelling I'd see a vet / remove blockage or cull depending on severity of the situation. I can't see / feel her tho so I don't know her plight :( Can she "hide" babies anywhere? They're not always in a nest with new does.
This is day 34 of my new zealand white doe being pregnant,I heard that if a doe only has 2-3 kits inside her it can take well over the 32 days because there the one's getting as much food as they can have and get real big in the doe so it will take longer for them to come out. And this is Sugar's first litter but I'm hoping she kindles soon!!! Here's a picture of her and I can't wait to build the rabbit tractor(movable pen) so they can get outta the cage and be able to hop around and eat grass and be together in the little pen. But anyway this is day 34 for her,has anyone else had a doe that kindled late?
 
Babies yet?
What kind of rabbit? Bucks *can breed at 12 weeks in many breeds. Can you feel anything? Did she nest? I'd separate her and feel for babies first then check where I saw blood for a injury like a scrape or cut (if she was in heat and swollen down there...then having to keep her haunches down against wire bottom so older kits wound not try to get milk- does wean their own if left to it) it may be raw and cause a bit of bleeding.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think my does in prelabor!! i didn't breed her though. is it possible that one of the baby bucks got her preg????????????? there about 12-14 weeks old. her vagina is bleeding.

Can she "hide" babies anywhere? They're not always in a nest with new does.
She is pregnant because she made the nest,she has nipples coming out,her left side if bulging out,she messed with her nest and thought for sure there would be babies but there isn't yet,and there isn't no where else for her to hide them and she doesn't have any blood or anything on her face...just a waiting game I guess
 
Keep waiting a bit longer if she's not in distress. The waiting is the hardest part lol
They will make a nest and can produce milk even in a false pregnancy. All the signs will be there....but the babies. If I have a doe that fakes me out she will usually mess up her nest after the time period of waiting is over and no babies arrive. I remove nest and rebreed.
If you are absolutely positive they're babies in her and of the breed date, bring her to a vet. She's way past due and they're only getting bigger everyday. Can cause complications as they get bigger.

Sternrose, how is your rabbit? Hope you were able to get help or find out what was wrong. Take care all, its almost my bedtime.

She's acting pregnant. She's huge and her abdomen is swollen ( a good swelling) but you know how when you sex rabbits you push that flap back and push down. Well you barely touch hers and it looks like a penis. But I know she's a doe because she already had her first litter, this would be her second. But she's still bleeding it looks swollen. This has never happend before. Is it possible that she has STD's? But she's swollen and I think just realy red and not bleeding. I Reyes getting pics but she wouldn't hold still. Urge. I realy hope that this is a false pregnancy or ( I don't want to sound cruel but we realy don't want a new litter. We still have half of the first litters.) she lost her babies. (I know it sounds bad but we can't support new babies right now.

Mini Rex's and its her vagina.
 
Doesn't sound bad, you're thinking responsibly, only you know your limits :) I'm sure if she kindles you'll do great on the fly and if she doesn't, well you get a break (her too) as long as you need til next round!

I dunno about her bleeding, a lil before labor i see often...more waiting :th
