did you count the days from when she was first put in with the buck? If so then it may have taken her a few extra days to get impregnated (sometimes it takes a while). If she's as big as you say then she should give birth soon.

Just when I think that my pregnant does are going to explode they usually make me worry and wait 2 or 3 more days... 
Maybe he did catch her a little later, but im worried. Still nothing
Don't worry too much unless the mother seems to be in terrible distress. I've had a doe "go over" her due date by as much as 5 days. She had a nice big healthy litter in the end
u beat me to it, lol, 21 days from the last day she was with him, sometimes 22ish or more, as long as your doe is not distressed at the moment should be fine,
Don't worry at all, it happens
I had a doe go over by nearly two weeks, she still had a perfectly healthy litter. It was really weird; I moved her to her own box when she looked like she had another couple of days to go, so she was pretty big, but she was as big as a tennis ball for nearly two weeks.
Things that should worry you are extended spotting of blood from the vagina over a few hours with no signs of babies, and when a baby is quite obviously stuck. If she's looking like a perfectly normal, healthy, pregnant mouse there's no cause for alarm
