I think my gecko is overdue!

Question
My gecko, Bonnie, is pregnant and I think she's overdue! When I got her maybe three weeks ago she was supposedly pregnant. She hasn't laid eggs yet! But the problem is, my dad said when I got them he wouldn't take them to the vet if something happend. I am really worried but I don't know if I should be or not. Please help me again!

Answer
Scarlett, sorry I didn't realize who I was originally speaking with!  Anyway, look at her belly if you see two white ovals then she is gravid or pregnant.  It could take up to five or six weeks for her to lay and she must have a laying box with moist sand in it to lay in as well.  Generally speaking she will start scratching around the enclosure to look for a spot to lay the eggs.
