CJ, Her udder will fill with milk and start to get full looking. 24 hours before she farrows you'll be able to express milk quite easily. Her vulva will appear swollen and red and she'll be quite restless. You will be able to tell if she's actually labouring by watching her breathing - she'll almost pant when having a contraction ;) Before a piglet is born she'll thrash her tail about a bit.
HTH
