Planning to Move While Pregnant?


The very thought of moving home during pregnancy can be stressful and cause a lot of anxiety. Studies and surveys indicate moving homes during pregnancy can be more nerve-racking than separation, job loss, and infirmity.

However, you can minimise the stress of the move by planning it carefully and well in advance.

You can do the Packing

Be sure to avoid carrying or lifting items or you could hurt yourself grievously. Nevertheless, you can always pack your belongings and valuables. Packing gives you peace of mind as you know your personal possessions are in perfect order.

Additionally, packing your stuff and arranging them in your new home will help ease the stress considerably. Be sure to label the cartons and take a break at regular intervals.

Schedule an Appointment with the Obstetrician well in Advance

Registering with the healthcare provider in the area where you’ll be transferring is absolutely vital. After all, you cannot afford to miss your scheduled appointments with the GP or the obstetrician.

Your new healthcare service provider may not be willing to register you if you’re in your 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. First, contact an estate agent who can assist you in finding a home per your needs and preference.

Once you’ve found an appropriate property, locate the GP in your zone from the NHS Service Finder, and contact them immediately.

Keep yourself in Good Shape

You need to stay in good health, both physically and mentally, especially when you’re pregnant to effectively cope with the stress of moving home. It is crucial to keep yourself stress-free during pregnancy. This helps minimise the chances of postpartum depression.

Consume nutritious and wholesome food, and take your meals on time. Drink sufficient water every day as well as on the day you’re shifting to keep dehydration at bay.

Take it Easy

Things will be a bit hectic on the day you’ll be transferring to your new residential address. Don’t panic if everything does not go per your plan. Try to realise that you’ll not be able to control everything. Staying relaxed and comfortable could help you to take the hassles of relocation in your stride.

Get all the Help you Need

You can always request your family members, neighbours, and friends to lend a helping hand. Get in touch with a reputed packing and moving company that can shift your stuff securely.

Focus on the Future

At the end of the day, what matters is that you move to your home with minimal stress. One thing that can help you take away the stress is the thought of your new abode. How beautiful would it be once you are settled in and that you moved before your baby was born!
