well, average is 28 days between births, but don't go marking up that calendar yet. It can be up to a week shorter or 2 weeks later and still be considered normal. To be honest, there is no way to know for sure so you just have to develop a feel for it over time and have her in a breeders net or separate tank a few days before you expect her to deliver.

I suggest you mark today on the calender as the first birth then wait 4 to 6 weeks for the next birth and mark that day. Count the days in between and you will have a good idea of when to expect the third birth.

Our mollies just gave birth too. We have 3 females and they all gave birth at night unfortunately. So we only have a like 8 fry left, the other probably got ate up by the others. I believe I remember the girls at Pet Smart told us that mollies can hold sperm for 3-6 months. Which then can get her pregnant many of times. You can usually tell when they are ready to give birth. They can get huge belly's that look like their going to bust. And they start acting strange. Whatever that means. lol We also noticed that they began turn completely vertical and holding like that for awhile. Hope that helps! Good Luck!

About 20-28 days. It's good that your checking and rechecking the calender.
