Some of these people obviously don't know what a guinea pig is, 2 weeks? Ha, if only. When I got my first guinea pig [they are also called cavies by some people], I didn't know that she was already pregnant. I realized that about a month after I got her she was getting fat and that fat was moving, so I researched it. [ www.guinealynx.com is a great site] Females can go from 60-75 days depending on how old she is, and how big the liter is, there can be from 3-6 babies in the liter. They come out with all of their fur, teeth, and eyes open. They will drink milk from mommy, but they can also eat solid food. The only signs that I noticed that she was getting ready to give birth was she was getting very lazy, she would hardly move except to eat and drink, which she only stopped doing while she had the babies. Good luck with your new wee ones.

Pregnancy lasts an average of 63 days. The larger the litter, the shorter the term of pregnancy .and vice versa. The duration of pregnancy for guinea pigs is unusually long when compared with that of other rodents.
Pregnant sows (females) exhibit a grossly enlarged abdomen during the latter stages of pregnancy. It is not uncommon for their body weight to double during pregnancy. The time of delivery may be difficult to determine because of the relatively long gestation period and because pregnant sows do not build nests. However, the week before a sow is about to deliver a litter, a slowly widening separation of the pelvis develops just in front of the external genitalia. This separation reaches slightly more than 1 inch in the hours just before delivery.

If you can be pregnant or if you have infertility problems I reccomend to follow this method http://pregnancy.toptips.org
Many factors can cause a couple trouble in conceiving a baby, I'll list a few of the most common ones in women:
Anorexia or other dietary dysfunctions
Lacking amounts of FSH and LH are produced, so ovaries aren't as functional as they could be, and so not many eggs are produced
Stress, causing periods to become irregular
Medications such as cancer treatments,antidepressants, hormone therapy, pain killers, and antipsychotic drugs can all cause temporary infertility.
With the method that I posted above you will be able to get pregnant!

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Pigs are pregnant for about 60 days. My mother got one that was pregnant before it arrived, not that she knew this. She got much wider and you could feel the babies if you felt her sides. They moved about and we realised she was pregnant one day, and she gave birth the next. Right in the middle of Coronation Street. Don;t worry about them giving birth, they get on with it themselves, just keep an eye on them. New born guineas are gorgeous...fully formed with hair and open eyes...proper guinea pigs, just tiny versions. Ahhhhhh.

They are usually pregnant for 63 days and when they're in labour they make a little hiccuping noise. They usually don't want to move at all when they do they waddle a little bit.

Usually, that's too long for me. I consider it depends on the guy as well as his face though. Certain guys can easily pull off long hair and other folks can't.
