How long did you wait for pregnant shrimps to give birth?

I got 5 shrimp from the pet store and 1 from another pet store well out of the five I got she was pregnant already so I'm not quite sure how long but after I got her it was a month I think and I notice she wasn't fat any more and then shortly after like a week or so I was watching the tank and saw a small transparent Babin on a leaf
