She's probably pretty close, maybe another 5-7 days.
Before she will give birth, she will stop eating (usually) and she will start swimming up and down the tank a lot more.
If given access to a male, platies will have babies every 30 days or so, so she sounds like she's due to give birth in about a week.
Good luck!

My platy had babies once. Yours seems pretty close, maybe in two to seven days. Just make sure not to bother it and have the right temperature in your tank. Your platy may also have babies multiple times. There will be a LOT of babies after a while. Be careful!

she may have them in about 7 days, she may then eat the babies and get pregnate again, or she may not be preg at all and only over weight- this does happen in live bearing fish
