Voting procedures and labor -*NOT A POLITICAL POST*

I’m due October 28th and am thinking about requesting an absentee ballot for both my husband and I based off the reason “I will be confined to my residence, a health care facility, or hospital due to illness or injury”. Is this acceptable based on idk when I will be actually having my child and I’m not about to go stand in line at the polls less than a week after my due date (standing in a long line plus COVID don’t seem reasonable right after birth). What are you ladies doing that are due end of October?
