Shingleback help

Hi all i bought a pair of 3yo shinglebacks at the end of april & the dude i bought them off said he thought the female was pregnant as she had been gaining a little weight, but at the time i bought them she was only a little bit wider than the male, he thought roughly 2 months pregnant, so i've had them for 3 months & she's nearly twice as wide as the male now & over the last week she's looked really fat & every time i pick her up she pees herself, so is this a sign of incoming baby/babies or something else as i'm just not sure?.
Pete.

No, they just do that when they don't want to be picked up. Also females are usually twice as wide as males. My female is a pig, she looks gravid all year round.
