MOVING home to Chicago

Natcat509

I need some advise from anyone who has moved while pregnant. We are finally moving back home to IL from FL next month. I couldn't be more excited to be near family and deliver at the same hospital I had my son. However, I am a bit nervous about moving while pregnant and with a toddler. I am pretty much solely responsible for getting our home prepped for sale here since my husband works long hrs. How do I keep myself from getting totally stressed out through this process?

Just do a little at a time, take lots of breaks. I've been packing for a few weeks. Definitely start with things you don't need in the near future. Maybe work through each room, one at a time. I have packing add, so I flit from room to room while packing. But definitely take breaks when your body needs it!

I'm not moving quite as far but we are moving either right before the baby is born or after (Depending on when house is finished). I have started packing already. I bought a bunch of garment boxes and packed up all my clothes that don't fit. I'm slowly starting to pack the whole house simply people I think if we move when i'm 38 weeks pregnant I won't be up to do much. I've also created to-do lists that breakdown what we need to do for the move and what we need for the new baby. Its helped manage all my anxiety because I can check off things when I do them. Don't forget to just hang out with girlfriends and relax, maybe even ask friends for help!
