My fish looks like she's going to pop, but i don't know if its too soon to put her in the birthing tank.
 
i would move her just in case, you cant be around all the time to watch her release her fry.

If your molly has stopped eating and is laying at the bottom of the aquarium or just trying to stay away from the other fish as soon as possible, I move mine from 1 aquarium to another in plenty of time therefore ending up with plenty of fry.Hope this helped.
 
I don't really move them to a breeder. I do watch for babies to be born in the main tank, then vacuum them using the gravel vacuum and transfer only the babies to the breeder. This is because I can really never figure out when they will be born and I want to stress the mother by putting her in a breeder for longer than needed.
 
Do it right now, and leave her in there until she gives birth. You don't want to risk not being there when she delivers, and end up witnessing the babies being eaten!
