Its hard to say, have they gotten larger recently? I'm no expert and I don't even know if swords have a visible gravid spot or not but my guppies spot gets almost pitch black when they are pregnant. Also I've noticed that about a week before she drops she eats like a pig! :) Also, my guppies "balloon up" when they are pregnant. Looks like they swallowed a sugar cube when looking at her from the front. Really boxed shape to her belly.

yes they have gotten larger not bunches but some, and I see the black spot for sure on the liter one the darker one I still can see it just not as out there...are there any sign I can look for to know its close?
 
those black spots are actually the frys eyes. The darker the patch becomes the closer the time will be. My mama fish always liked pooping a lot before she gave birth lol.

It may sound gross but I've noticed that too with my one female. She was actually dropping fry with some hanging out of her.
