Sounds to me like you need to move her soon.
Many people use the breeder traps for the moms, but I have much more success with a small 5-10 gal loaded with fine leaved plants for my mom's. There is much less stress on them. I will usually move them at least a week or even 2 before, so they are calm for the birthing. I seem to get a much higher survival rate. As I think the fry are stronger for it too.
