If you think there is a good chance of her being gravid, I wouldnt get too worked up about it. It is normal for gravid females to turn their belly upward, especially the lower third as you described. Maybe to help absorb sun to incubate the babies inside? Also it may be more comfortable, I cant imagine being so swollen in that area feels good. Keep an eye on her, but I wouldnt stir up too much fuss about it, its normal.
Also, you said she hasn't eaten. Is that because you havent offered food, or she is refusing? If she is refusing, dont worry about that either, that is also normal. However I would still offer it to her, in smaller meals, maybe half the size of what you would normally offer her, once every 3 weeks or so would be good. The meal will do both momma and the babies some good during the gestation period.
Some people have their own opinion of feeding, some would maintain a regular feeding schedule, some cut off food all together, thats just my opinion of what has worked for me.
But in my opinion, you have nothing to worry about except babies in a few short months. keep us posted. help this helps
