If you feel something moving around in her stomach, then I'd say she's probably pregnant. I bought my guinea pig pregnant (not knowing she was pregnant, of course) and her stomach just kept getting bigger and I could feel the babies moving around in her stomach. It takes 60-70 days for the babies to be born. Keep in mind, I'm not a vet, so if you're not sure go to your vet.

Gestation is 68 day for your piggy. There is no real way of knowing until the last 3 to 4 weeks, as she will begin to look like a pear, she will have a normal sized head and just get larger as you look back. How old is she? If she between 8 and 9 months you may find yourself in a boatload of trouble. Guinea pigs over 9 month that have never had babies before should NEVER BE BRED, as the pelvic bones fuse together and WILL NOT allow the babies to pass down the birthing canal. If this is the case, you need to call a vet and find out your best course of action.
If you bought her from a pet store, and she is young, you more than likely do have a pregnant female, as is the case with most piggies from pet store. Some Pet stores get their piggies from what is know as an animal miller, the female can be bred at 3 to 4 week and baby male can bred at 4 week, Our rescue is filled with these so called pet store mishaps.
If she is not too young you should be fine, and if she is not over 9 months you should be fine, my best suggestion is if you are not sure of her age you need to go to a vet, and find out.

She will get noticeably bigger like having a tumor growing in her. If she is caged with a male she is probably pregnant. It is important that you have a separate cage for the father, some fathers will hurt their young. Baby Guinea Pigs are wonderful! I can't remember exactly how long it takes for them to give birth, but it isn't long.

take her to the vet if you are not sure. chances are high that if she was in cycle at the time when a male gp got to her that she will be pregnant.
guinea pig gestation period is about 62-70 days
