As far as her size goes, she is plenty big enough to breed. One of my breeder females is only 4ft & 8yrs old, she dropped 9 babies last time out.

My question is, has she been with a male at any time? If she hasn't been with a male then there is no need to worry.

But some of the "odd" things that I have notice with gravid Dums is, lots of basking with just the last 1/3 of their body on the hotspot. Basking with the last 1/3 of their body, rolled over partially or compeletly inverted. I have also noticed my females will sometimes coil around their water bowls.
