Okay - so you're not getting a lot of pressure to go?  Well that's a relief!  

I agree you don't want to have your father who you've just connected with in the delivery room,  and I doubt he'd want to be there.  Awkward!!

Do you have a friend who can come to the birth?  I would think if you ask around someone would be REALLY flattered to be asked and excited to attend.

Best wishes.

Don't go; but hopefully you have at least one other support person to stay behind with you if you're in labor. Someone still has to arrange for the funeral and all that; they are not wrong for going on with the arrangements, but hopefully you have someone to be with you.

No don't go.  You are basically full term & shouldn't be traveling more than an hour or two max from home.  Send your regards and some flowers.  These same people that are trying to guilt you into going will be the ones saying you went into labor on the road on purpose.  Stay home and safe your grandma will understand.

I can't believe they're asking you to do this.  I can't see how you could get back before your due date - you will most likely have the baby in Chicago,  or on the road in between Georgia and Chicago.
