how long are mollies pregnant for and how do you know when they are about to deliver and 1 more question should i seperate her from the other fish
 
They are pregnant for about 2 weeks to 3 weeks. They often look darker and depressed when ready to have fry, and their gravid spot is most visible closest to birth. If you have another tank, then seprating her is a fine option. But don't use a breeding trap as I feel they put unecessary stress on a fish already trying to push massive babies out of her tiny anal area.
 
mollies are pregnant for 4-6 weeks however you only notice after about 2 weeks, i personally don't separate the females whilst they are giving birth or remove the fry after, i have found mollies don't really eat their fry that much at all, but if you want to be safe, remove them to a fry net or another tank :)
