What is this on my female hissing cockroach?

to me it looks like dried poop. google says it could be an aborted ootheca case. i do know i have at least one pregnant roach, though im not sure if it’s her. ive never seen this before.

She is a female. When I ordered her online, the description says they are adults. So I'm assuming she wouldn't be molting, though I could be wrong.

Is she pregnant, sick, molting, or just swollen from eating?

When I seen her last night I noticed the slits in her sides but I don't think I noticed the gaping abdomen.
