Question
Can she have false labor  

The child I got her from  found her on Kijiji.com and breed her a week later  she breed her I have no I deal what age she is  Or if she has ever had a litter  the other night she was  hunching her rear up as though she were contracting but nothing came out she bent under to check her self   and for  now still no  litter  the  babies feel large and i could only feel two but she could have three or four  but the ones I can feel are big  i can also feel a small bone protruding from her rear  but only a little I don't know how to tell if her pelvis is separating   so  how can I tell if  she is in false labor   or can she stop it  if she wants  and should I be able to feel a babied  in the birth canal or is it possible for her to have false labor  

Answer
Hello,
Seeing as your guinea is so close to her due date and your don't know what her age is I would suggest a vet to visit you, taking her there may cause stress, obviously if you have to take her her then make the journey as comfortable as possible. I am really sorry that I couldn't help.
Best wishes
