Yes,never breed a guinea pig (female)for the first time if she is over 7 months old.If you do her pelvic bones won't open and both she and the babies will die unless you take her to the vet for a c-section.Also don't breed a (female) guinea pig after she is 3 years old.She is too old at that age to be caring for babies.
