While this is by no means the majority, or popular, opinion here, I believe that your female will be fine. I don't believe that we, as a community, give our snakes enough credit in making decisions about what is best for them. For thousands of years, millions maybe, this species of snakes has been able to make the decision as to when it was appropriate for them to breed. Our snakes, your snake, has those same instincts. She wouldn't have let the male breed her if she didn't know she was ready to breed. Again, this is not the the popular opinion, but you don't have anything to worry about, she will be fine. Keep feeding her and keep track of her sheds so that you can be ready if/when she lays. If you haven't already, be sure to do some research on what you will need to do with the eggs.
I hope this helps: There is no reason to freak out over something that you can't undo. Your female has been bred at a low weight. But she allowed it, so she must believe she is ready. Remember, these animals can store sperm and become gravid when they decide to be. Things will be fine.
