Once a guinea pig is pregnant it will take about 2 months till the birth of the babies. When guinea pigs are pregnant their teats don't start to enlarge until the last few days and labor, so you shouldn't have to worry about her being pregnant. It would have been careless for the pet store to keep males and females together as well. I will provide for you a list of the weekly signs of pregnancy. here are some signs that your guinea pig is pregnant!
Week 1 No signs
Week 2 Sow may start drinking more
Week 3 Sow will start gaining weight, there will be a tightening of the abdomen muscles.
Week 4 An experienced breeder will be able to feel small pups week 5 the sow will look some what larger than usual
Week 7 You will be able to feel 'quickening' this is when the babies kick
Week 9 It may become difficult for the sow to move around but she should still be active and eat and drink as normal. this depends on number of pups
The pelvic bones will separate sometime during this week
after two months, she will defecate and drink a lot of water .then the babies are born!
Best of luck with your guinea pig! if trouble should come, take her the the vet and they'll help
