Just give her a nestbox with some hay in it. If she uses it as a litter box, she's probably not pregnant! If she pulls fur, she is!

Keep feeling around. You can safely palpate her abdomen until 14 days. After that, it's best to leave her alone, since the embryos are more delicate then.
Are you feeling deeply enough? Work your thumb slowly through her whole belly, all the way to her back. Give her enough time to relax her muscles so you can feel. Do you have a rabbit that's not pregnant? Use her (or him) to compare. You'll need to distinguish between embryos and turds.
If you can't tell, it's probably best to wait. You don't want to breed a rabbit that might already be pregnant: it can cause dangerous complications if she bears two litters of different ages.
If she's a first-time mother, one great technique to make sure the babies make it through the night is to line her entire cage with an armload of straw two days before she's due. Give her the nest box like normal, but with the straw, the babies will survive wherever she happens to have them, since they'll have insulation.
