When will my guppy give birth?

I bought a highly pregnant guppy 8 days ago at a local fish store. I am wondering how to tell when she will give birth... I am listing some of the things I have personally noticed with her as well as some pictures below ... I am sorry about the pictures, they may be a little blurry... she just moves too fast and does not want to come see me.

Gravid spot:
Her gravid spot is very dark and kind of looks like a gelatin consistency. If you have ever seen finding nemo the consistency of the last egg after the mother dies that marlin picks up is kind of how the consistency of the guppies gravid spot looks, that is the best way I can describe it.
I can also see the babies eyes, they look like little specs of pepper. She is a very see through fish, she is kind of like a clear-ish white fish so she is really easy to see this.

Eating:
She is still eating, as far as I Know I don't see her not eat or spit it out

Activity:
She is active, but she is kind of nervous to come around the front part of the tank when I am around, she tries and kind of stay a little bit away from the front of the tank, but after i put the food in and back up then she will come eat
I also notice she is a little aggressive with my other guppies she has bitten their tails a lot

I know people say to remove the pregnant guppy, but I will be leaving her in the tank to have a natural community tank birth... I have had lots of problems with breeder nets and boxes and don't feel comfortable with moving her to another tank, so I have decided to let her give birth in the normal tank and if the fry do die... It's just the circle of life. But I have added a ton of breeder mops from yarn and a ton f plants that should help them hide and survive.... and if I can catch some of the fry I would put them in the breeder box.


Shape:
I have read about this and people say that guppies get a boxy shape and unde rthe chest or chin fills in more... she is not boxy yet but her belly is big and her chin is not yet filled in.

here are the pictures...

Although it's quite hard to know how far along a guppy is in her pregnancy, I'd say she's pretty far along. I think you could expect babies in one or two-ish weeks. How pregnant was she when you got her?

This picture is from last Tuesday (October 18) so 6 days ago

I have not been able to get a more recent pic, but I will post a recent one in about an hour to hour and a half when I get home.

Her behaviors and belly have changed from the time I got her now 8 days after I got her.

A change in behavior is expected, of course I think you can expect some babies very soon!

 

Pics.... thanks so much for your help. ☺️

She's so pretty!!! Her darkening gravid spot is a good indicator that she's pretty far along

I do have to correct you in this case. The intensity of the darkening of the gravid spot is not a real indicator of the status of a female's pregnancy. For mood change can change the color of the gravid spot.
But this mistake is made quite often by many people. So, you're not the only one that have made this remark.

But it's correct to say that when the gestation period goes along the more the skin at the gravid spot becomes thinner because it will stretch more. Therefore, what happens inside will become more clear. Like seeing the embryos develop. But again, mood change can change the color intensity of the gravid spot. Skin reacts on the mood of the fish by changing color. And the gravid spot is nothing more than a piece of skin that's more translucent than other parts of the skin.
