Is she egg bound?

good 'ol AL :/
Our female eclipse is gravid and seems to be having trouble laying. Were not quite sure, but a little while ago when we were soaking her it seemed as though she was pushing like she was trying to lay. This is her first clutch and she has had no other health issues before. These eggs are HUGE and we're worried that they may be too big for her to pass them and that she may become egg bound. Is there a way to tell if and when the eggs are too large to be passed and is there a way that we can tell if she's egg bound? We're not sure how long she's been gravid either. She's so fat that we weren't able to see the eggs until recently to tell that she was, but they're ridiculously huge now. But, yea. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!! :)
