Pregnant mollies generally get bigger and continue to grow till they give birth.  If you have her with a male she is no doubt pregnant.  When females are going to give birth they may act shy, get square looking on their belly, hang around a heater or certain area, and sometimes they don't eat.

Only problem with balloon mollys is that they already have that roundish belly to them.  I had this problem with my balloon molly and i just waited until she was REALLY noticeably bigger than what she really was.  Another thing is that i am guessing she is white, because thats what color most balloon mollys are, and if so they you should be able to see a gravid spot by her anal fin pretty easily since it will be black. Balloon mollys are harder to tell when they are pregnant but after a couple times of her having fry you will get to know what she looks like when she is and isn't pregnant.
