Guinea Pigs!

Question
I have a young guinea pig (I can only guess she is about 2 months old) and she was pregnant.  She delivered a stillborn baby (undeveloped and no fur) on Dec. 27th and another stillborn baby (again underdeveloped and no fur) on Dec. 31.  I am worried about her.  Is there anything I can do for her?  She is eating and drinking and shows no signs of stress, but I don't know if there is any medical issues I should worry about with her.  Can you give me any advice?

Answer
I think the only thing you can do is make sure she doesn't get bred again until she is older. If she is eating and drinking and seems fine, then she has probably passed all the dead young.
If not, you might want a vet to give her a look over and feel if there are any more babies in her.
