Default pregnant 5 month old swordtail

Ok so my female swordtail is prego. She is the daughter of the maile sword i have and her mother passed about a month after them being born.

My question is, it has been about a moth being pregant. I noticed today she is pooping alot and the belly is super large. I put her in a breeder trap thinking it is likely she may give birth soon. Is the constant pooping a sign she will have them soon?
