Sounds like she could do with being seen by a vet just in case something is wrong.

Hi and welcome

Can you tell us how you are sure that you sow is pregnant and under what circumstances did she fall pregnant? How old is your sow and how long have you had her? Is she still with a boar (if yes, please remove him asap)?

Please take the time to read these threads. They are very detailed and step-by-step, and you should find them very helpful. I can still take up to two weeks for any babies born after the pelvic bones parting, as we have seen plenty of times. All it does is meaning that you are not in the last stages of a pregnancy.

Please make sure that you are NOT overfeeding your sow and that you keep her on a timothy/meadow hay based, balanced diet with some small additional tweaks as stated in the pregnancy diet guide.

She is about 5 or 6 months old also I did remove the boar and I know she is pregnate because she is pear shaped also I can see babies kicking some times

I thought she was a boy and so I adopted a boy and turns out she was a girl and she got pregnate

Could you netuer your boar? Since piggies need a friend, but don't place the pigs back if you boar is not. Next time check the gender

I have separated my boar from my Sal and when the babies get older I'm putting my boar babies with my boar also do you know when she might be due

 

[Me Yoda boba]

Ok

9-10 weeks after being impregnated.

How long was she in with your boar? She could have fell pregnant any day in that time period so likely you have a large window of possible days she fell pregnant on.

It sounds like she is in the later stages of a pregnancy and my give birth at any time in the next 2 weeks, but we cannot be more precise than this. Like with a natural human birth, babies will come when they come.

Please make sure that you feed your pregnant mother-to-be well but not too much. The fitter your mommy is the better the overall survival chances of the babies. But you do not want them to be so large that they are at risk of getting stuck at birth. Please take the time to read the guides. All the information is in there - from how long a pregnancy lasts, how you can prepare for birth, what are the signs when a birth isn't going right, what to look out for in a new mum and babies to make sure that they are fine and especially what to feed them, so they can have the best start in life that you can give them. The guides have been especially written for inexperienced owners that have no experience with a pregnancy. They are easy to read and very step by step. if necessary, please ask your mother to do the same.

If your guinea pigs have come from a pet store, you and your parents can ask the shop for an extra cage and support for your babies, as selling mis-sexed guinea pigs is their fault.
