Question about moving...

brandyward

My mother lives 19 hours away, and has asked my husband and I to come live with them when the baby is born. I'm currently going to law school, and can easily transfer. I know that my mom and sister could help me greatly. Also, my stepfather has a business that he's wanting to pass on to my hubby (who never seems to find a job he likes). I know that moving will be the best situation for us. 

 However, I'm just not sure how it will work. I'm 14 wks and high risk. I have a doctor here, and have to finish this next semester at school (which will put me 2 wks from due date). So, it's either move 2 wks before due date or move immediately after. Our lease will run out right at the due date, and we either have to renew or move.

 I'm concerned  about a doctor for me and the baby immediately after, and about moving so soon after. 

Anyone have any experience or advice to share?

No experience here my family lives here in charlotte.Only my inlaws are in another country. I would say that you should talk to your husband and see what the best options are i am sure that your mom and sister would want to see the baby and be a great help when you go back to school. at the same time your inlaws too you have to please everyone and i know how it can get.  But i would say its between you guys what the best options are. Moving is stressful and def the dr wouldnt want that right? talk to your husband and see what happens

I am moving 1000 miles away just a few weeks after lo is born. I have started researching peds and ob there and getting tentative appointments set up for as soon as we get there. It sounds like a great opportunity for your family. You can make it work. Good luck.

I would talk it through with your DH. Does he want to move and take over the business? If so, I would do it after the baby is born because moving while pregnant is hard! We just did it, and I was only 25 weeks then. I can't imagine doing it 2 weeks before my EDD, and being high risk...definitely not good.

I don't have any experience, but it sounds like the move would be good for you guys in the long run.  I think moving after the LO is born would be okay as long as you had a lot of help (with the physical move) and support with baby.  Good luck with your decision!

I don't have any advice for you. Where in Arkansas are you? I'm in the nw corner.

Julie, I'm close to Fayetteville, and not enjoying our hot weather lately!

Small world. I'm in Rogers. We are sitting out back now. The breeze is really nice. I find it hard to believe it's only 79 here though. The 74% humidity today is killing me. I wish I could stay inside. Sadly I have a two and a half year old who doesn't seem bothered by the heat.
