Well,

If you want you can be there to watch but the guinea pig does not need you and in fact DO NOT touch her or the babies, and try not to touch her when she is giving birth nor the babies until the next week.

How did you prepare the cage before your guinea pig gave birth?

Well I refiled her water so she has plenty when she gave birth,I gave her fresh pellets and hay. you dont want to have lots of guinea pig bedding around the guinea pigs private area because when she opens the babys sack the bedding can sufficate the baby.And when the guinea pig gives birth keep a carefull eye on her if you are awake because if your guinea pig is giving birth to 3-5 pups they might come out right after ine another and she might not be able to open the sack so in a few the pups can sufficate.
