make the trip, but get to know your neighbors first and clue them in on what's happening with her.
if she doesn't have any health or mobility problems, you should be fine. doctor is (presumably) nearby, as is the hospital, and it sounds like there are people to help if something should happen.
once you get back from the hospital, be johnny on the spot and do more for her than you normally would. don't let that die off, either, after your kid is born.
