They will hang on to the eggs for about a month waiting for the male to be ready to spawn. If not, they will expel (and eat) the eggs - unless the female is egg-bound.

Goldfish, like all cyprinids, lay eggs. They produce adhesive eggs that attach to aquatic vegetation. The eggs hatch within 48 to 72 hours, releasing fry large enough to be described as appearing like "an eyelash with two eyeballs". Within a week or so, the fry begin to look more like a goldfish in shape, although it can take as much as a year before they develop a mature goldfish color; until then they are a metallic brown like their wild ancestors. In their first weeks of existence, the fry grow remarkably fast - an adaptation born of the high risk of getting devoured by the adult goldfish (or other fish and insects) in their environment.

they're a fish. Don't they just let their eggs go out somewhere? I don't think they're pregnant at all.
