the gestation period of livebearers is 28 days
She might be ready, especially if you just go her she will usually give birth earlier because of the stress you causes her from moving into a different tank environment
guppy's get kind of a squary look to them, here is a video that shows it

This guppy gave birth in a matter of 2 hours
hope that helps
Good luck

yeah she's really close uhhm idk what kind of fish you have with her but if you want the largest amount of babies to survive i would, if you have another tank, to move some of the other fish NOT HER to another tank for a day or two if possible but don't move her becasue it could make her miscarage alot of fry or have salot of coverage for the fry to hide in or around. but yeah she's way ready
have fun being a new parent :) haha
