Hi, i have a female molly and two female platys that i think are pregnant. I have provided some pics below to ask you guys when you might know when they will give birth if at all. The platy with the more slimmer body and dorsal fin up has given birth two days ago but still looks like she has more inside her. Thanks.

The platies definitely are pregnant. Difficult to say about the molly. If you have a male molly as well, then yes she is. None are particularly close to dropping, IMO.

I do have a male with the molly, the platy with the dorsal fin gave birth 2 days ago do you think she will drop again soon because she still has gravid spot.

If she gave birth 2 days ago, then chances are she won't drop again for 4 weeks or so. The gravid spot is pretty unreliable as a measure of when a fish will drop fry, a much more reliable indicator is the abdomen squaring off.

Since you have a male molly, then it is highly likely that the female is pregnant, just not very far along, by the looks of things.
 
I have just witnessed my male molly let's just say he was using his tool lol so baby mollys on the way soon.
