pregnant for a long time

Question
hi,
i have 2 young black mollies (from original birth) and i think they have been pregnant, for a looong time. probably 2 months. they are still very young, around an inch. one gave birth, but the babies die right away and some are stillborn. some have stomachs as big as a pellet. it seems like it exploded. is this normal for younger mollies? the other has not even gave birth, and it has been pregnant since the other was pregnant. please help with the one that is giving birth. why are the fry stillborn and why do they die right away?

Answer
Hi Gaily,
 Just as with any animal that gives birth, it doesn't always work correctly.  Hopefully it will go better next time but there is nothing that you can other than be patient.
