Can't tell for sure as in the pic the pouch sticks out in front well but appears to be sunken in the side.
Swollen pouches sometimes just indicate the male is inflating the pouch to show the female he is ready to accept eggs.

Well it's day 3 with the seahorses lost 1 in shipping and 2 shortly after, so the final count currently is 7 adults and 7 babies, that i can see atleast haha, they like to hide in between plants. Brine shrimp has been going pretty well, there eating good from what i can see. Thank you for all the help and advice getting things ready for them ray!

Don't know if anyone here can answer this, When a dwarf seahorse has the ponies how small are they, i say this because i had one that i thought just gave birth in shipping, had some really small seahorses but could clearly tell they were seahorses. Now looking in the tank i see what looks very similar to one, but very small...way smaller then the then thought to be babies. Its so small i can't get a picture that you'd be able to see anything to verify.

Any I had were fairly uniform in size but occasionally I would get some smaller ones. Those smaller ones though never seemed to last long.
You will definitely be able to tell that they are seahorses though.
I've never actually measured one but the smallest I've seen were larger than the reidi and erectus fry I've raised.
You could probably fit about 8 dwarf newborn on a dime.
