Moving at 31 weeks

so we just bought a house and are moving these next 2 weeks and I feel utterly useless to my husband. I want to help paint, move things and everything but I can't and I get exhausted so quickly. Instead, I've been cleaning and carrying in light things at the end of the day I hurt and ache.

As much as I want to help, when I feel so exhausted at night I worry about overdoing it and going into preterm labor! However, my pregnancy has been super healthy so far! Am I just overthinking it? I'm not doing anything I'm not allowed to do, I just feel like I am at the end of the day!

Has anyone moved during pregnancy? Any advice ?

    I moved two weeks ago (28 weeks) and did mostly organizational things. I did carry light bags that were under 20 lbs but there where not many of them! I did most of the packing in weeks leading up to the move so I did feel bad about not being able to do what I would normally. I have since unloaded 90% of them too! Lol. I was very tired that night but I didn't feel like I over did it! I have been lucky and able to be very active during my pregnancy and I think that helped!!

    I moved last week at 32 weeks. It was rough and I felt a bit useless as well but I did what I could and did not overdue it. I focused on unpacking more than handling the boxes.
    It's important to listen to your body and for you and your SO to be on the same page about what you can and can't do.
    Good luck. It's doable, just have to go slower than you would otherwise.
