I have a preg molly and she is sitting on the bottom of the aquarium behind some plants she has been there since yesterday! i'am wondering is this natural for her to do this considering she has 4 days til she drops or is it a illnesss ?????????? please help !
 
it may be normal, they do tend to seek a quiet place to have their fry....but ...how are your other fish behaving? Do they seem normal? Has anyone been hassling your preggers girl? Can you test your water stats for ammonium, nitrite, nitrite? If you're not sure, a partial water change won't hurt your pregnant girl, will keep you on the safe side re: water quality, and may stimulate your girl to give birth ( 4 days early should be ok...).
Hope this helps, there is also a live bearers section further down the forum where you can get lots of good info relevant to your situation, and get advice from lots of people who have lots of experience with mollies.
 
they will stay out of the way when they are getting close to dropping, and also may get aggressive to other fish, She may give birth soon, rather than in 4 days. how do you know it is 4 days anyway?

because it has been posted on the Livebearers on the forum
remember like all animal etc. there is always a rough time for pregnancy, doesn't mean she wont give birth earlier or later than predicted :)
