Answer
Dear Jessie,

You need to get her to a good rabbit vet right away:

If the foot is broken, it will need to be stabilized.  Leaving it loose is not only excruciatingly painful, but will increase the chances that the foot will become infected.  Please waste no time in getting her to the vet.

The injury probably will not affect her pregnancy, but the vet can tell you if any necessary medications would pose a risk.  Please be sure to read:

I hope this helps.
