How much longer does she have to go been waiting a few weeks
 
its really hard to tell I usually just put them in the pen at night my advice is to look up the gestation time for mollies and see where she fits in at. but she isn't that far off.
 
Thanks she had them yesterday morning 67 of them only a small amount didn't make it
 
Mollies may take one month to deliver but if the temperature is low or if the mother feels uncomfy or unsafe(usually if its crowded or has fluctuations in pH and nitrates) she may last like 5-6 weeks. Or may spontaneously abort her babies.

its the same with all live bearers for the most part if they feel threaten aka the males chasing the females they may decide to abort the babies. which reminds me I have some females to separate from my mosquito fish population since they are well rounded.
