Relocating is stressful at the best of times, but moving while pregnant adds an extra layer of stress, disorder, and issues to the mix, especially if you’re late in your pregnancy.
Moving while pregnant, on the other hand, does not have to be a nightmare; by following some easy procedures, you can keep yourself calm, your baby healthy, and yourself from fretting too much about the minutiae. Continue reading.
Organize, Organize, Organize
Table of Contents
When you’re expecting, organization is the foundation of every excellent move. Procrastination will get you nowhere; the more time you have to plan and organize, the less stressful the experience will be.
Create a (realistic!) list of what needs to be done before you move. Are there any places you could move to right now? Should you start looking for a moving company? Will you require the assistance of friends or family?
You may unwind and know that everything is under control and will be completed on time if you create a realistic, well-organized list of deadlines, tasks, and other vital information.
Begin packing as soon as possible.
Begin by packing everything you don’t need or rarely use – anything in the basement, storage closets, or anywhere else it may be. You may ensure that it is ready to move whenever you need it by packing it up and storing it.
You can also use this opportunity to get rid of trash and unnecessary items if you happen to come across any.
You should also try packing up frequently used rooms, such as offices, kitchens, and so on, a few weeks in advance. It may be inconvenient not to be able to use your kitchen, but you’ll enjoy it when moving day arrives and all you have to do is pack your linens and toiletries.
Mark Everything
It’s difficult enough to remember where everything came from – and where it’s going – when you don’t have a “pregnancy brain.” Therefore don’t leave the final destinations of your shipments to chance – or your harried mind.
Everything should be labeled. Name each box with the contents, the room it came from, and the room it’s supposed to go to when you ultimately move.
You can speed up the process of unboxing and unloading your belongings and putting everything in place, which you’ll appreciate whether your child is still on the way or has already arrived by the time you move.
Request Assistance – Or Hire It
You should avoid heavy lifting. You are aware of this, as are your doctor and your neighbors. Do what is best for your child. Don’t be too proud to accept assistance from friends, family, or even neighbors.
You can pack most of the minor items yourself, but you shouldn’t be dragging boxes full of big goods around the house—that’s a guaranteed way to injure yourself or put yourself out of commission for the duration of the move.
Let your more physically capable loved ones transport big items or engage professional movers. Professional movers are an excellent choice for an expecting family because they can handle almost everything, even packing up rooms in your home if necessary.
Professional movers are an excellent solution if you are short on time and need to complete your relocation as soon as possible.
Learn More About Your New Neighborhood
You’ll want to be able to resume your everyday routine after you’ve relocated. Conduct some research on coffee shops, grocery stores, gyms, restaurants, walking routes, support groups, and group fitness programs for pregnant women in your area.
You’ll be able to resume a regular life more quickly if you research the best places to continue your routine when you move, lowering stress and allowing you to focus on taking care of your unborn kid.
Locate a Doctor’s Recommendation From Your Former Healthcare Provider
This isn’t a problem if you’re moving nearby, but a long-distance move will normally need finding a new doctor. Get a referral from your previous healthcare practitioner; this will enable the seamless transfer of charts, data, and information about you and your child to your new prenatal physician.
Call your preferred physician well in advance of the transfer to ensure that they have gotten all of the information they require to provide you with high-quality medical care.
Prepare the Nursery for Use
Make sure you have easy access to everything you’ll need to prepare your baby’s nursery. Whether or not the baby has arrived, unpacking and preparing the nursery should be your first responsibility when moving.
You’ll be able to relax knowing that your baby’s needs will be easily met, whenever he or she decides to arrive.
