Give her lots of hay and there's not much more than that
Give her privacy too, don't meddle too much - she knows what to do.
When she's done and out of the nest give her food and check that all kits are in the nest, and you can remove/replace soild wet nesting material without disturbing the nest too much.

It takes all rabbits 31 days, I’m assuming (since she’s already nesting) she’s been pregnant for a while now. However if you don’t know, how should we?

No. The window of "normal" is approximatly 28-35 days.

Mine kitted on day 33, three days after starting to nest.
regardless of when she is due... sometimes they start to nest three days ahead of time, others wait until right before. So anytime between now and day 35 she'll have kits. My guess... within the next three days. Trust her to do her job.
