I've had them for 4 weeks on tuesday and curious to know if you could have a somewhat accurate guess if they are pregnant or not if I take some photos?
 
Post some pictures and weights and maybe people will be able to give you some kind of clue. However, just from pictures and weight no one is going to be able to tell for definite so its always worth getting them checked by a vets if you are unsure as pregnant piggies need extras in their diets for the pups bones
 
We have had very pearshaped ladies on here who turned out not to be pregnant and girls who are barely showing who were, so I have given up judging just from pictures! mallethead

If you can find a good exotics vet (with experience in small animals rather than a general vet) you will probably get a better answer. However, even he won't be able to tell you anything in the first half of the pregnancy! Piggies won't really show until the last 2-3 weeks of their pregnancy, and until then it is sadly a waiting game.
