When they really start to square off, they are getting close

Yep, her stomach will get a bit square like instead of round when she's starting to get ready, and she will hide somewhere where she thinks it's safe to give birth. Some mollies hide in plantation, mine usually go behind internal filters because that's where the stream is not too strong, no other fish can get behind them, and the babies are safe swimming just above the filters, because there usually is just 1-2 cms of water on them, so any bigger fish can't get them. Luckily for me, it's like a childs play to catch them from on filters and moving to my baby tank...
