She just had them, but it ranged from 13 hours since she had her first one. She is still fat, though, will she have more? She is a lot fatter than my non-pregnant ones, but she is having some trouble, I think.

She actually has been in the trap a day or two and not eaten (she refuses to eat...) and she is in a breeding trap. She is not sick, th babies are fine, a few hours ago, over the night she had 8 more, but I think she is having difficulty, she sometimes goes crazy and I have not seen her actually give birth. she looks skinnier, but I have some fish that are not pregnant and she is a lot fatter, though and has a bigger gravid spot.

She sounds like she is having a difficult birth. 8 guppies is not very many. It is possible that she will not have any more, but I would expect her to. Is she in a large tank with other fish? Maybe the other fish ate the babies.
Give her some time and keep an eye on her, that's all I can suggest... You say she is still fat - she may be impacted (has she been eating?) or have dropsy (are her scales sticking out?) or she may still have babies in her.

I agree w/ what Zoe said, and I have been enjoying seeing your comments about what is going on w/ your guppy. I have African cichlid babies right now and 3 pregnant mothers, it's a lot of fun to see the fish in your tank reproduce. If you like the breeding aspect of fish, I highly reccomend getting an African cichlid tank, they breed like crazy...and they keep their babies in their mouth and spit them out when they are old enough. It's pretty cool, but now I have to figure out what to do with all my babies! Good luck w/ your ongoing delivery :o)
