What body signs indicate my pregnant rabbit is going into labor?

Question

Today was day 30. I was just wondering if there are any body signs that she is going in to labour besides nest building (she did it already) and fur pulling (she might only do it after kindling) like sudden small jerks etc. The reason I'm asking is she built the nest between a cupboard and the wall with no barrier for the kits not to wonder off... and I do not want to mess with the nest at least till after kindling. Thanks in advance. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | 3 lbs

She may go off her feed or eat more, get aggressive, dig in corners or pull clumps of fur out to fortify a nest. She will build her nest and kindle where she feels most comfortable. You can use a rolled up towel or washcloth to make a border on the edge of the nest if you want. Whatever you do though, don't stress her out as this could cause her to a random the kits or worse.
