Well, first on the list would be to seperate them when you're already noticing pregnancy signs. For how long have they been together? The buck must not be with the doe when she gives birth, he would impregnate her right again, if he even lets her finish. You'll need to securly seperate them, a 3ft barrier he would never go over normally could be not enough.
A nestbox, lots of hay, more food and privacy is pretty much all a doe needs.
When the time comes check frequently about every 2 hours if possible, to help if something goes wrong, like kits born outside of the nest. You might want to have gloves ready for that or for cleaning up the nestbox if it is necessary. Gather fur from brushing them, might come in handy if she doesn't pull enough.

I've had my doe for about 4 weeks and my buck for 3 i started noticing signs about 4 days ago or so especially in the belly but kithought maybe she was just eating more than usual because I thought my male was a female.

I've had my doe maple for about 4 weeks and I got my buck libby 3 days after I got her thinking she was a doe as well. We are working on separating them now. I wasn't sure if those where signs or not my mom didn't believe me when I said something to her about her belly until this morning when I had her actually look at her. I thought maple was just getting a little chunky but she was getting pretty big really quick. She also does not want me near her belly at all which was strange because maple would come to me and lay down just for belly rubs. She also started eating her pellets more than she usually does which is why I though it was chunk but I read that that could be because she's pregnant. Shes also been sleeping alot and laying down most the day. I have a pic of her belly a couple days after I got her compared to now.
