Dwarf Platy

My dwarf platy is sick, I think. She is lying on the rocks. She is pregnent, but i dont know if she is sick or just starting to give birth. I really need help.

If she's on her side, then she's sick. If she's not on her side, and especially if her back end has squared off, then she's probably dropping fry.

What other fish are in the tank with her? What are the water parameters? Does she have any external symptoms like color changes, breathing faster than usual, etc?

There are four guppies, one other dwarf platy,two gold barbs, a neon tetra and a cory.
She has no other symptoms like color changes and breathing hard,she just was lying on the rocks for a little bit.

I woke up today and found her swimming around and she looked normal. Thanks for replying.

hmm.. yea, I guess just keep an eye on her and you could do a careful check of the tank for little hiding fry.

If you don't have something setup for her to hide in, our platy liked when we had a whole bunch of plants close together.
