hi, if they are pregnant, their belly should be tonnes bigger, realy easy to notice if it is, also towards the back of the female...she will have a spot called the gravid spot, this forms when the eggs are fertilized and get darker as the eggs form. towards the delivery, she might have troubles swimming cause if the weight in her belly. another indicator is that she might stop eating....this is an indicator that the babies are about to arrive.
if you want to keep the babies you should get a baby trap because they do eat the babies sometimes.......hope that helped. and goodluck with her
