Yes pretty normal for livebearers,the male will try to eat the fry when they're born and then pursue her again to mate with her.

When a female starts to try to avoid contact with the male, it is often a sign that she is getting close. As far as the male's actions, they don't much care if the female that they are trying to mate with is carrying fry. Why should they, the female can carry sperm packets from matings for as much as 6 months so a mating while she is carrying still presents the possibility of the sperm packet being used. Mating is all about having the genes of the male survive, that is what drives them. Any action likely to lead to that happening is an action likely to happen.
