I would a week or so. She will get more square yet and her gravid spot will get larger. I tend to put the mother in a breeding net to have the fry then I let the dry go into my nursery tank and place mum back in my bigger tank.
 
this is what i did when i first had a pregnant female guppy i took her when she got quite fat,square, and had a big gravid spot then put her in a breeding tank till she gave birth... but while shes in the breeding tank i recomend keeping her fully feed or else when the fry are born she will eat them
hope this helped
 
I let my fry be born in my ten gallon breeder, I net the fry and place into a breeder net, I then put mom back into my larger tank. Right now I'm going through a cycle of prego guppy and 3 preggo platys that drop right after each other so I have a week of just catching fry lol. And feed them crushed up to a fine powder flake food or liquid food.
