How far along is my female guppy (yellow and black tail)? Also is my female guppy with blue strips on tail pregnant?

They look gravid (pregnant) and are probably ready to drop them in the next week. The first pic the fish might drop them in the next few days.

Have lots of plants in the tank and feed the adults 3 times a day (assuming the filter is established). This should help prevent the other fish eating the babies.

Don't move or handle the females because you can injure them and the babies.
 
...And not all of the babies may be born at the same time.
I think this happened with our last guppy. We had 2 baby’s over one night and a day later there was another 2. I assume some were probably eaten due to the fact there was only 2 each time.. but they are now a week old in a breeder box and doing really well. two are showing some black spots on them and the other two have no colouring at all.
