She floats for a bit, she even goes upside down..and then she gets a birst of energy and swims real fast for a second..and then she stays in the floating plants...she seems exhausted and she is huge..could these be signs of labor?

She's not pregnant just because she's bloated. It sounds like a gas infection caused swim bladder disease. Boil some peas and then shell them, then feed them to your fish. That will release her bowels and it should help.

Ive had this problem babies might be stuck and shes unable to jetison the young she might well die ,nothing you can do .in future turn up heat when you notice fish getting close itll speed up delivery and try to isolate female before birth they do eat own young

no your fish is very close to pregnancy so you might want to have her in a separate tank or net breeder so other fish will not eat the fry.
