As an prior owner or breeding guinea pigs, I have noticed the animals often birth late in the evening or early in the morning. As nocturnal animals it makes sense, but it is strange that they often do not give birth during sleeping hours for humans. The tummy of the pig begins to have visual indications of the babies movement as delivery approaches. If you are looking at a short haired pig, then you can often see moving areas of the tummy to help you estimate how many will be born. When you are able to see these movements birth will occur during the week. Other than these indications you will hear squealing from the babies and any other pigs in the cage during the birthing to indicate it is happening. Also, if you know the day of conception you can calculate the date of delivery as would be done in humans.

Why do guinea pig die after labor?
A healthy guinea pig should have no problem going through labor. If your guinea pig dies during labor, it could be due to pregnancy toxemia or the guinea pig's hips could have fused (this can happen if you wait to breed your guinea pig until it is over a year old. If you want to breed your guinea pig, you should always make sure that they have their first litter before they turn one year. If you wait much longer, the hip bones will not be able widen to allow for birth.)
