Should I help this spider out, or..?

I came out there one day, and saw that she was laying an egg sac, that was located behind her web. The next day, she had moved up to another one, that was close to where it was located, that I'm pretty sure was already there. She's been sitting on it for about 4 days now, and I'm starting to worry that she's just unable to get back to her web, due to how it is located. What I'm wondering, is if this is normal, if I should just leave it be, or if I should try and return her to the web. She's definetly not doing anything with the egg sac, that much I'm sure of. Any thoughts?

When I get home later today, I'll try and get some pictures. For now, the best I have to offer is this one of when she was laying the new egg sac:

I don't know about Nephila species exactly, but if they are like all the other large orb weavers, she will most likely die within the next few days after laying her sac, so I wouldn't worry about it much. She is a gorgeous spider though!

How awesome!

I was lucky enough to have 2 of these spiders this year at my house. One laid me 3 sacs!!! And the male is still in the web, but she is dead She died last week right after making the 3rd sac! They will hatch out in the spring, right?

I can't wait to see her babies....
