She looks pregnant to me.
Has she been dewormed since you got her?

Unfortunately, she is still a little skittish about being handled. She’ll run up to me when it’s time to be fed and ALMOST eat out of my hand but so far it’s been a hard no to being handled at all lol. I’m hoping for no complications and looking forward to little piglets for sure!One of our kunekunes went off feed the morning before she gave birth, and didn't eat for a full day afterward, the other ate right before farrowing AND right after, so it just depends on the pig. But it sounds like you're getting close! If you can handle her at all, try squeezing one of her nipples. If milk comes out, you should have piglets within 12 hours. That was very accurate for us. I hope it goes well! Piglets are so much fun!
I will be sure to share!Waiting on baby pig pictures!
She has a little pit dug in the back of her shelter that she has been laying in and a couple twigs she has drug in, out, and back in there a few time times. I’m assuming that’s what she’s done. She settled in there yesterday so we blocked her in just in case. She doesn’t seem to be bothered that she can’t get out and normally she is very active.I see same as @farmerjan , teat development in recent pic is way more pronounced than 8/17 one. Is she nesting? One of mine used straw in her hut, one dug a pit and covered it with all sort of twigs...a real construction effort! .
Piglets yet?
Still… impatiently … waiting!! We just had rain allll afternoon so I just went to check on her and take her some dry bedding. Bless her heart. I keep questioning if she’s just fat
