I think that you may have read her signs wrong and your numbers may be off - that's not uncommon. Also , I've had gravid females without any pos sheds, and I know of other who have as well. My advice would be to stop holding her, or even feeling her belly, and just give her some privacy. Invading her space can cause her to hold them too long and producing a litter of fully developed stillborns that suffocated inside of her. I'd tape some newspaper to much of the area that she can see thru to reduce stress caused from outside movements . Just try to make her feel secure, and they'll come when the time is right. An ultra-sound would've been better when she wasn't so far along. Moving her now may be a big mistake.
