No, she continues to grow. She is almost round and appears to be having trouble staying under water. She has swollen so much that her skin is stretched to the point that it is almost transparent. She continues to swim and eat but it is obvious that she is uncomfortable. She is the size of softball.
Your goldfish is egg bound which essentially means she is full of eggs but unable or unwanting to release them. This is not uncommon in goldfish. The recommended way to treat this is too isolate the affected fish in a hospital/quarantine tank. Add epsom salts to the water. Add 1/4 teaspoon per every 5 gallons of water and maintain a water temperature of 72f degrees if possible. To avoid the eggs that are internally enlodged in the fish from becoming infected you could add a medicine called erythromycin (generic). Listed below is a link to a brand name product, Maracyn, which contains erythromycin. The goal here is too assist the fish in either reabsorbing the eggs or expelling them. Usually the fish will reabsorb them.
Some goldfish experts feel that the presence of a male goldfish will help stimulate the female to expel her eggs but the problem is knowing how to identify a male goldfish which is difficult under normal circumstances and even more difficult in a pond situation.
So add the epsom salt as mentioned prior, begin treating with erythromycin, keep the water quality good, provide a varied diet and the fish's chances will be greatly increased to reabsorb or expel her eggs. Good luck! http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4838
