Where should a recently pregnant wife rent if she will be working in Downer's Grove, IL ?

My wife is a recent Univ of Chicogo grad from ATL who accepted a job after her summer internship in Downer's Grove (DG). The commute from Hyde Park to DG was pretty long and not pleasant. To get her closer we considered setting her up in an apartment in Oak Park. The only problem at the time was figuring out where she could park her car. Now we just got the great, but maybe not so timely, announcement that she is 5 weeks pregnant. Now I am panicking because she starts work the end of this month and we will be separated during most of her pregnancy with me here in ATL. I am not sure anymore about her living in Oak Park and her lonely commute to DG in her car -- especially on winter days. I want her to rent in a safe place very close to good OB/GYN hospitals and doctors, and of course, good restaurants and shops. Parking availability for her car would also be great. Any recommendations? Help help help! Thanks."
