Rescued rabbit: Stomach lump & movement. Pregnant or parasites?

Question

I recently rescued a domestic rabbit. A lot of movement in her stomach, but can only feel one lump. Pregnancy or parasite? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | 5 lbs

We don't normally have parasites that get large enough to palpate/feel through the stomach or feel them move, so if the lump itself is moving I would be inclined to suspect pregnancy. If you take your bunny to a vet, they may be able to palpate the abdomen and determine if she is pregnant.
