This is a pretty unreliable means of telling when a cow will start to calve, or even especially a first-calver, which I assume is the case with this two-year-old "cow" of yours! (At this age she's still called a heifer, by the way.) A heifer can bag up and have really full teats and she'll still not drop a calf until a week or three later. And what's even more interesting is that a heifer can even NOT be bagging up real tight until AFTER the calf hits the ground!
So, with that I would really look at her "girly" parts (being the vulva, especially) to truly tell if and when she's close to calving. As mentioned in the related question below, her vulva should be loose, floppy, even swollen looking, and have a clear, non-sticky discharge. The tail head will have sunken down, the belly will have dropped, and the thurls will have sunken in. If she's got a loose and floppy vulva, she will be close to calving in around 24 to 48 hours.
So, please see the related question below for more details.
