I have a doe who I think is around 2 weeks pregnant and just really need some info as I have no idea what I'm doing and my local vet was not very helpful
Thank you

Here is a link to a site that I trust explicitly take a look at it. If you have any more questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Domestic Baby Bunnies and Their Mom

Thank you! As I said my vet was not very helpful at all, just told me not to let her have them but I think so is over 2 weeks-ish as I can feel something in her tummy.
The vet was more intrested in having a go at me for breeding her which he didn't seem to want to listen when I tried to explain that I didn't! I adopted her, she was in a tiny hutch on her own on side of the road!

Is there any other Vets around?

Jeesh, I do understand where he is coming from, but once you explained that it wasn’t you who allowed her to get pregnant, he should have changed his tune!

I wonder will he listen any better in an emergency?

I had a Vet once who used to tell me to force my dog in to the lay position, I refused to do that, he also only wanted to lecture me on anything he could. He would never listen to me when I needed to explain stuff, which ended up causing a lot of grief and unneeded pain on my poor dog. I found a new vet ASAP.

The nearest vets after that is about 40 minutes drive which is OK on a normal but if its an emergency I wouldn't want to take the chance it going that far out, just really worried about her, not knowing for sure how far gone she is or if she is going to go through it OK, and if the babies will be OK, I will be keeping them, as I have a very big garden and 3 other rabbits, I just no that if I keep them they will be very well look after and loved very much

Sadly most vets don't know anything about rabbits, they're an exotic animal. You really have to shop around to get a vet that can care for her.

It really would be best to have her spayed after the birth. You said you have 3 other rabbits, so if she's not spayed this will happen again, and again, and again. Rabbits, after all, do breed like, well, rabbits. ;)

I would also look into getting the babies spayed at 6 months because they will breed with each other even though they're siblings.

Where I live they just raided a house with over 500 rabbits in it. The people just let them do whatever they wanted. Trust me, it can happen, so please look into finding a vet that can do the surgeries.

If you want help finding a rabbit specialist there is a list on the link I gave you. The house rabbit society is the best webpage I've ever found about rabbits. These people really know their stuff.

I have 4 rabbits of my own, have had rabbits all my life. I really can't tell you what will happen when she gives birth as all my rabbits were fixed so no babies. If you do have any more concerns that the link doesn't cover, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to find the info for you. My vet is a rabbit specialist and loves to answer questions. :)

Good luck and please post pictures once the pinkies are born. :)
