First make sure it is indeed a female platy. The fin closes to the anal gland is more squared on a female and more elongated on a male. The belly part closes to the head starts to look swollen or kind of bloated(almost like its gonna explode). It takes approx. 3-4 weeks to have fry(baby fish from livebearers)
