Question
My guinea pig mum, Honey has had one baby but her body is still massive and looks as if it is holding 2-3 more piglets
So after she has had her first baby will she have any more?

Answer
Hi Pheonix

It will not have any more

the weight is just the baby fat
But watch out because sometimes (on very rare occasions)
There will be more babies in her but they will die and her body should absorb them or she will give birth to them but that is very very rare

All the best and have fun with the new baby

Good Luck
Mitchell
