Fish don’t get pregnant. Females develop eggs, which can be re-absorbed if the fish doesn’t breed. It’s a gravid (=with eggs) female.
I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

Just leave her. It’s normal, it’s what female egglayers do.

You could try some live food, Brine shrimp or some Daphnia.
Spawning takes place usually first light and the Danio's plus your other inmates will have a egg feast.
WARNING - DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE!

Only guppies in that tank, did think they were all male obviously not. Doubt any fry will survive, but going to put her in a tank with no guppy so she doesn’t get harassed by the boys.
