they lay eggs, they don't get pregnant.
you will know when they are spawning.
As long as there is no pine coning of scales, it is probably just eggs.
They have 2 long egg sacks. They will typically only empty one during a spawning session.

A cool water change may trigger spawning.
I managed to get another big female cory on Monday.
She is probably the size of my thumb. even bigger than the long finned matron of the tank.
