Birds lay eggs, they do not have pregnancies. That said, if she has a swollen belly, she may have a stuck egg or other issue, and it sounds like she is very ill. It would be best to seek veterinary care immediately as stuck eggs are considered medical emergencies, especially if she is very ill in addition.
