My grandma just passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's.

Her memorial service is scheduled for Monday the 15th. I lost my mom to cancer 16 months ago. This was her mom and though her passing is not a big surprise, it's still really hard to lose another amazing person from my life in such a short period of time. I'm really tight with my mom's family so I wouldn't miss it for the world. Staying home is out of the question. My grandpa really wants the family to get together in the few days before the service to just be together. DH, DD, and I will probably drive up Saturday afternoon and come home Monday night. I'll be officially 37 weeks then. I told the MW and she was understanding. The drive is about 3 hours and if I do go into labor, I can hop on a flight home. The flight is only 30 minuts and they run every couple hours until about dinner time. I could always deliver at the local hopsital too but hopefully it won't come to that. Please send some good vibes my way to keep this baby put until I get back. I might have to duct tape my cervix shut while we're gone!

Sorry for your loss. i lost my mom and grandpa 14 days apart, its hard for the mind and heart to wrap around losses like that.... I only would suggest doing your best to find ways to stay calm and take time to relax your mind, heart and body when you can. Best wishes for the trip!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

Make sure to get out of the car and walk every hour (if your bladder doesn't make you stop sooner!)

I'm so sorry.

Try to keep hydrated and get some rest.

I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you want and plan to be there, but just know that if there is any reason to miss a funeral and that mourning time with family, a new baby is it. Such a reminder of the cycle of life. Like others have said, just hydrate and take frequent breaks in the car.

Thank you so much for all the support. Apparently there's supposed to be a good chance of snow this weekend which would only complicate things.

We're planning to take DH's truck which has 4 wheel drive and, thankfully, he's a champ at driving in bad conditions.
