Default Pregnant swordtail?

Omg. I just liked inside my tank for a second while setting up a new tank and my sister pointed to one of my swordtails and said it looked pregnant. It looks a little chubby. Also she was swimming up and down the glass trying to get to her reflection. I heard that this is pregnant behavior. She doesn't have a gravid spot (that I can see. She keeps moving so I couldn't get a picture) and all my fish are following her. So is she pregnant? Please help.

Running up and down the glass is normal for all fish. Does not mean shes preg. If she doesn't have a gravid spot shes not far along if she is preg. And males will follow females
whether preg or not.
