I'm 40 weeks and 3 days and I've been having contractions and all but its not one after the other. I have a doctors appoinment tomorrow for my weekly check up. I'm wondering if I were to evacuate should i bring baby stuff with me incase I have the baby in another city? carseat,diapers,stroller,baby clothes ect.......or should I just wait and see what the doc. lets me know tomorrow? I had surgery 3 years ago 3 days before Katrina and I had to evacuate with open wounds. This is all bring back so much bad memories. I need some advise please.
