Four weeks is the general gestation time. When she becomes really large in size, you will be within the week. If it's her first batch, you might not see her get as large. I wouldn't put the fish in a breeding trap as it stresses the fish out and may cause her to abort the fry. I would try just adding lots of hiding spots for the fry.

It will probably be within two weeks, and when you see the back end of her "bulge" look almost straight up and down, then it will probably be that night.

Instead of a gentle curve, it will go down straight, and then curve.
Here is a (very badly drawn ) example:

That should give you an idea.
