Answer 1

take her to the vet to see if what will happen

Answer 2

females should not be bred until they weigh at least 500 g (just over 1 pound), which usually works out to 4 to 5 months of age. Younger sows can be too small to successfully deliver their babies, and may not have matured enough to properly care for their young. Also, no older female should have a first litter; somewhere between 9 and 12 months of age, the hip bones of a childless sow can start to fuse together. A litter after this happens will require a caesarean section, which is an extremely risky surgery that could threaten the life of the sow and her babies. If you are going to breed your sow, you should probably arrange for her first litter between the ages of 5 and 9 months. Otherwise, you might want to consider having your sow spayed for her own safety after nine months, if there is ever any chance that she may get pregnant.

For health reasons, many breeders will recommend that you not mate your boars until they are eight months old.

Answer 3

well i beileve she'll be just fine it would have been better if she was older, but as long as she is in good health she'll will most likely have a nice birth, but i would take her to the vet to make sure everything going okay.

Answer 4

Well, it's all up to chance now. I really hate to say this, but that is pretty young, but I don't think she can get pregnant on the first try. If she does though, I wish you all the luck. It's unlikely she will survive, but no one can tell.

Seperate the boys from the girls, they should not mate while pregnant. If the boar (male) is still young enough, do the pet overpopulation a favor and have him neutered by a small animal vet.
