Well last night i found one lone baby guppie, today mother still seems very plump i no they can only be hers because sadly a few died during white spot and we are due to go get some more today...

Is it possible that she might have delivered some and just not the rest yet? or that she got scared and started to give birth but yet again not to all of them?

She keeps swimming over to plants all by herself when the male comes over she swims away and he follows her i would take a picture but i only ever sem to get rubish pictures of fish
 
Managed to get some but not very good :

Anything is possible LesleyAnn but it is not likely that the female has more fry to deliver. In general a guppy will produce fry almost constantly until the drop is finished. They will seldom stop dropping fry for more than a few minutes at a time. An overnight stop is almost unheard of.
 
She may give birth to more which is yes possible.

However a happy and healthy guppy dose produce the next batch of eggs before she give birth to the first batch. So it's possible she gave birth to them all and now only has the eggs for the next batch of fry.
As guppies do not swell with fry, but the eggs and the fry are no larger than then eggs when they are swelling this is the eggs after this batch of fry.
