Gravid Female and Pre-Lay Shed Questions

So I've been thinking my hoggie female is gravid, but I'm not sure. She's gained about 100g in weight, and is spending most of her time on the heating pad.

I only witnessed her locking up with a male once, so I'm not sure if she's fertile or not.

Also wondering, between copulation and laying, is there only one shed (the pre-lay shed) or can a female hoggie shed multiple times? My big girl that I believe may be gravid just shed and I'm wondering if I should be expecting eggs in a week, or if I might have to wait for another shed cycle.
