Answers:
You will need to condition her with a variety of food (blood worms, tubiflex worms, brine shrimp - all frozen). And you need to make sure the water stays very clean (change 20% every three days). It will help encourage good health and egg production.
A
the do not get pregnant they lay eggs. the male builds a bubble nest on the surface. when the female is ready to breed he squeezes the eggs out of her by wrapping himself around her and squeezing. the eggs are fertilized at the same time and he then takes them in his mouth and spits them into the bubble nest.
Bettas don't get PREGNANT. They lay eggs. Bettas don't get along with each other. Even males and females will fight each other to the death. You need to watch closely for fighting, give the female lots of hiding spots.
This website gives lots of information on breeding bettas, please go there and learn more about them. There is so much you don't know! It's not as easy as it seems.

Please go and read about them. Please, you won't be sorry.
Bettas don't get pregnant. If a betta has a big belly it's got dropsy or your are over feeding. In general you can't keep females with most males long term. Also the female will tend to eat their eggs. (Assuming that the male doesn't try and kill her to protect the nest.) The male will eat his offspring once they become free swimming.
Ps- You should really read up on breeding bettas. It's not a simple task, requiring a breeding tank, special food, and practice. Also you need to have a plan to deal with a 100+ offspring.
To go along with the info above, the male takes care of the baby's when they hatch also, but..
Once they spawn and the eggs are in the nest, he is going to run her off and she needs a time out anyway. Spawning isn't really nice and they can get serious damages if not watched so the female can be removed in time.
Then, a few weeks down the road after they hatch, Daddy could suddenly get hungry and he should be removed also. The fry need to be brine shrimp and the needs are a lot. Its not a easy road to take, as the brine shrimp need hatched out and enough for three meals a day.
You must be careful with the fry also, around 6-8 weeks the air bladder is developing and cold air or cold drafts on the tank could actually cause them to get pneumonia. these are Labyrinth fish, so they are capapble of breathing through not only the gills, but the air bladder or lung they develope.
