Pregnant females butt open for almost a week

I have been monitoring my pregnant female dubia for some time. She has been pregnant for a while and successfully rotated her ootheca. She is huge but for the past week her rear end has remained open. Nothing is sticking out but you can see something white inside, I guess the ootheca. Each day I was expecting her to give birth, but nothing? Do roaches go into labor like humans, meaning the ootheca sac has to open before the babies can be born?
