Obviously if you caught her in Florida she may be close to giving birth, if you caught her in Minnesota she won't be for a long while. I'm continually surprised at the number of queries I get where the questioner doen't bother to mention where they are located. Location matters.
Baby garters will eat small minnows, rosey's, chopped worms, small tadpoles or frogs/toads.

You must be simply ecstatic! Do you mind if I ask where in VA? I'm a VA resident and my garter just passed away this week. I hope to have another, but I'm going to wait until move. Do you have any pics, what's she look like?
