Separate the male and the female NOW! Keeping intact male and female guinea pigs together is not a good idea. There is an overpopulation of guinea pigs in shelters and rescues. Please do the right thing and separate your guinea pigs now.
Go to www.guinealynx.info, www.cavyspirit.com, and guineapigcages.com to learn everything you can about guinea pigs.

Agreed with the answer above, seperate your male and female NOW. It is especially disheartening that you don't even have a vet which will see your guinea pigs, so if something happens during the pregnancy, your girl will likely die. No animal deserves to die in such severe pain like that. Sows have a 1 in 5 chance of dying during labor.

Those two sites should give you lots of useful information on hopefully helping your girl through her pregnancy. Seperate the male and female NOW as they will backbreed as soon as the female gives birth.
