I had an accidental littler and would like an extra opinion on the sexes so that I can prevent any more pregnancies. I think the first pic is a girl but there is a bump at the top that is making me wonder....and I think the other 2 are boys.

We need clearer pictures. Also look at www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm -- the acid test of a male is whether or not you can extrude a penis when you press just above the genitalia.

I have tried to press but I guess either am not pressing hard enough or pressing in the wrong spot. Getting a pic that is not blurry is hard as they move a ton. The first pic has a "Y" but a bump on the top.. it is small but there..That is what's making me question it

How old are your babies? The first looks like a girl, but I'd need better photos for the others.
It may help if you have someone else take the photo (if you're not already doing that) ^.^

I agree with Melissa, it looks like Female, male, and female(?) clearer pigtures please. Or have someone hold the pig securely and another person gets a good pigture

Do you have an exotic vet nearby? Occasionally, you'll have a female that looks almost like a male because she had a nub. I have one that I couldn't tell. I had to have her examined by a vet to be sure.

I would take a good long look on the cavy spirit sexing page and them to the ridge test on them.

Closer, clear pictures will help as well. Straight on views, no side views. Having another set of hands will help a bunch.

It's the i or y test. If it looks like a i it's a boy. A y is a girl the like brown one has a y

That doesn't always tell you. If you are new to sexing guinea pig pups, it can be harder then that. The OP needs to be 100% certain about the genders as he stated he doesn't want more babies.
