id dose look pregnant
good ways to tell are
is it hanging near the top of the tank
is it staying away from the other fish( can somethmes be a bit agressive)
it will start to look more squre when its about to have them
these might help aswell

no it's still acting normal, swimming around fine.
It been like this for about 3 weeks now, around 1 week ago it was acting strange.
Hanging around the bottom of the tank and in the plants, i thought it was ready but nope!
2 more weeks has gone past and it not acting strange and still acting normal.
it looks like it going to pop, if it holds it 2 long it can die can't it?

can you get a side on view of it

It does look very heavily pregnant and the fact it's hiding in plants is normally a good sign! Watch for a wee white tube near where it poo's if you can see that it's normally a good indication it's going to go soon . They will normally square off so there stomach's resemble this \____/ sort of shape

Good Luck !

if it holds it 2 long it can die can't it?

they probaly could but its unlikely. mollys normaly take about 6 week from one drop to the next

My balloon mollie took AGES to drop her fry, i'd say at least 4 weeks, i wouldn't worry too much.

Mark.
