Does she have a dark spot on the back of her belly? ths is called her gravid spot.
She should carry for about 28 to 35 days. She can produce anything up to 100 fry each time.
You may want to consider a breeding trap for her too - as the fry may get eaten by your other fishes.
Good Luck

It's in the right section, guppy gestation period is usually 23-30 days from their last drop
