What you want to do is have 3 tanks, put the female in 1 and the male in the other make sure they can look at each other for 24 hours and feed them nutritional food to condition them, once conditioned the male will build a bubble nest and the female will bulk up on eggs, then place them together and the female will lay eggs in the bubble nest, after that remove the female and keep the dad there he will take care of the eggs and fry until they are free swimming.
Once they free swim take him out and feed the fry newly hatched brine shrimp.

first of all they are not pregnat, they are egglayers
what you want to do is condition them for at least 2 weeks
Here is a video that shows a setup on how to do it, where the male can see her and will be encouraged of building a bubblenest

He doesnt squeeze her, he nicely... you recognize... does it together with her. He could be too small to spawn and wrap himself round her, yet that ought to no longer be the case. lady bettas are prego with eggs for 4 weeks. She probable isnt waiting yet. only wait, and quickly you ought to have eggs!

That doesn't make sense. You said she's pregnant. How can he mate with her if she is already pregnant?

I think you should go to a proffesional or at a fish store.
