Answer:

do this, get em out asap, because it can kill the eggs rather quickly. I was just researching infertile eggs and several sites said that. Get em into a plastic container with substrate in it, any will work, perlite is good for keeping away mold and it is cheap, about 4 dollars for a bag. It may be something to look into later. Put them into a container with a lid, poke holes in the top of it if you need to for air holes. if you have a hot spot on the top of your fridge, stick them up there, if not, place them on a heat pad in a place where the air dosnt cycle to much to try and help hold a steady temp. Keep the substrate damp, but not wet and use a thromomiter to check the temp. An incubator is your best bet for properly heating the eggs, but cost between 70-90 dollars in a pet store. incubate between 80-90 degrees, 86 being a safer spot and producing a mix of males and females. if you don't want the eggs to hatch, then dont incubate, infertile eggs will dent in almost completely. Also, females can lay eggs without a male present, I have one that did last year. If there is no male, the eggs can't be fertile.
I would call your doctors office, I think they told me nothing over ten pounds for the first 2 wks.
if she will let you, remove and put in a nest type thing that she will be happy with, If not, see if you can soak up the water and put some straw type stuff in there instead.
I even have in no way heard approximately soaking. basically proceed doing what you're doing. confirm she has an excellent form of nutrition and is ingesting plenty. Separate her from the different gecko advert grant a laying container. confirm you have the incubator waiting in the previous she lays her eggs. stable success
I have done it myself, but it is really only you that can judge. Just be mindful that even if it is not hurting, you may still lose your balance as your muscles won't have knitted together properly yet. The last thing you want to do is hurt your baby.
