Question
my guineapig babies that are  inside her body are moving quite a lot becase one of them i could feel its heart beat and that one was behind the mothers leg and also the babies keep moving across the mothers stomach one bulge will go down the other side will get really big.
but my question is how many days or weeks has she got left of pregnacy because there moving alot?

Answer
Amy -

Well, once the babies have started moving, you can usually bet on around 3-4 weeks until birth.  However, unfortunately, there is no prescribed time when they start moving a lot, so I cannot begin to guess how close you are.  I would just prescribe that you would try to be patient and wait it out until the babies arrive.  That way it'll sort of be a surprise.

Hope this is helpful, although I know its probably not what you wanted to hear.  :)
