If the mother is still very small, she can have only a few babies the first time, like 2-5 the most. It just depends on the fish.

ahh xD thanks for warning me xxaww cute :') x i cant wait for rain to give birth, i hope i can keep them alive x
Probably best if they don't all survive - she'll be giving birth every 4-6 weeks until 6 months after her last contact with a male. Assuming you have a male in with her, then once she gets a bit bigger, she'll be carrying upwards of 30 fry at a time, so you'll soon be looking at a tank FULL of platies. Platies aren't the easiest of fish to rehome, because they are so cheap to buy (both from a retailer's and a fishkeeper's point of view).
