They make a very distinctive groaning noise and this is how you know when she is about to go into labor you then just have to stand by the cage/hutch and watch, if two guinea pigs arrive at about the same time and the mother can not get them out of the sack quick enough you may need to just gently open the sack so the baby can breathe but leave the rest to the mother. If a baby guinea pig can't breathe then you need to pick it up, hold it at arms length and spin around (but not too fast) this should be enough to make the guinea pig breathe again. Try to let the mother do as much as the work as possible and only assist if you really need to. Hope this helps!!
