update: i added a cardboard box just incase she didnt like her nest box i provided and she is starting to make a nest i believe but no fur pulling

There's really no way to know what's going on inside her unless a vet were to do an ultrasound. It's pretty late for there still to be a chance for the kits to be born alive, though not completely impossible. It could be she's retained them, or she had them and they had died and she cleaned up and ate the dead kits. If you're concerned there's a problem with her, all I can say to do is take her to an experienced rabbit vet for an ultrasound.

If they are in outdoor hutch, Rats also can eat her babies.

i have a feeling there coming she made a nest and she has something moving in her tummy while laying down i hope it was the babys fingers crossed.

theres in my spare room so hopefully rat free

I would remove the buck so there isn't any issue if/when the babies come.
Good luck

is there any chance that they mated again after the first time and it like reset the clock its just weird there making a nest at like day 35

One of my does rather consistantly kindles at day 34 or 35, still in the range of "normal".

Ok great news she’s had a litter of 3 healthy baby’s, just took a long time but it was worth the wait I’ll post some pictures

Congrats on the new bunnies Surprising, but great that everything was ok, even though it took a bit longer than normal.
