Here some suggestion

Your female guppy that is pregnant will have a dark spot under her tail. This spot will get larger and darker and these are the babies starting to form. You will see her get larger and larger. If you notice what looks like a little bit of white string coming from this area, she most likely just dropped a baby. Once you have a pregnant female I would suggest scooping her up in an isolation or breeder tank and placing it on the side of the aquarium. If these females get too stressed out they will be pregnant forever, until they eventually die. You cannot move the fish in a net or place it in a completely different aquarium because this will also stress her out.

for details catch this Sea Life

She may be large, meaning a big Guppy, but she doesn't look pregnant to me.

Hmm, hard to say. She doesn't exactly look to pregnant...just big, but if she has a black spot I'm guessing she is.
