The gestation period for any livebearer is 28 days
It is very hard to tell if your molly is pregnant or not, I still have a female and thought she was pregnant but she never had any babies, and i had a male with her for months
So if she hadn't had any yet, and you don't have a male with her, don't expect to have babies from her
If you do have a male with here, she might have had babies, but none of them had survived
Hope that helps
Good luck

That's so weird! The same thing is happening to my female guppy! She's been pregnant for almost 3 months already! There's nothing you can do, but I suggest you raise the temperature in your tank by a couple degrees!
Hope this helps!
Good luck!

are there other fish in the tank? how many ? what size tank? good hiding spots available? they may hold the fry for quite sometime till they feel it is safe to release them so if there are many other fish and the water quality is poor with inadequate hiding spaces than that may be the reason she hasnt released the fry.

She doesn't need help you can just wait and stay with her. She knows when to have the babies. You can't rush a pregnancy.

If you are sure about the date take her to the vet if not wait two weeks.
