In my tank with my pregnant female guppy (about to have babies) there are tons of little white bugs bouncing around inside against the glass... and there are little thin worms crawling around..... can anyone tell me what is going on here?

not sure exactly but a uv sterilizer will fix it, I had a dragon fly hatch once, they are ugly!

There are FW pods too. The little white bugs could be anything from aquatic mites to copepods. The little thin worms are most likely nematodes. They are usually an indication of too many nutrients or leftover food. The baby guppies will probably take care of these for you.
 
i remember i had the same problem, and it was very annoying. unfortunately i didn't have anyone to help me then. i still dont know what they were, but my guess would've been mosquito larvae too.

If you can find a pic of them on the internet or get a good pic your self I could probably tell what they are.
