I got my mickey mouse platy a bit more than a week ago and she's paired with another female and a male, she's gotten really big and hides in the corner. Is she pregnant?

If livebearers are put with a male it will be a baby factory! Yes defo pregnant. I'd say about one week away so if you want to keep the fry I would recommend getting a breeding floating box for the platy. Can I have a clearer photo of the platy??

i must also add that livebearers have the ability to store sperm for a period os six months and therefore they can getr pregnant without the male present,

That's correct, but they won't have as much fry as they would with a male
