I know exact date/times cannot be given.
But from the pictures could anyone have an educated guess on if she could give birth in the next few days or weeks.
The last 7 days I've noticed she has got bigger, but last few days she's stayed the same.

Well, probably in the next week or two weeks. She's already squared off. But knowing from experience, nigrocaudatus females seem to be able to delay the delivery for a bit longer than other colored female guppies.
For your information, nigrocaudatus is the name for the dark body. In this case, it's a nigrocaudatus1 female. Which means she's half black. Another name for half black is tuxedo. Would've she's been totally black, she would've been a nigrocaudatus2 female.
 
Watch her behaviour too, if she’s breathing heavily/thrashing a little babies might come in the next day or so. Keep in mind these behaviours could be due to other factors as well.
