ANSWER: firstly while my own typing isnt brilliant you need to re-read what you write because it is not easy to understand. you dont really need to do anything, just give her peace and quiet, once they are orn soak the water they drink with a cuttle bone. other than that everything should be fine.

QUESTION: my guinea pig is going to have babies how do i know whin she gose in to labor she is hideing alot and diging alot and she is swollen down there and she is very very  big douse this mean she is geting ready to have them she got breed in FEB

Answer
yes that sort of behaviour means it is getting close, you dont really know when she is going into labour, only when she is giving birth, for a while she will look like she is just grooming herself. if it was the very beginning of feb then she will be about ready, rule of thumb it is about sixty days.
