Pregnancy is exciting … and stressful. The same can be said for moving. What about when the two are combined? Often, this can result in added stress and strong feelings of being overwhelmed. That doesn’t have to be the case. Here are words of advice for moms-to-be on how to make moving while pregnant less of a hassle.
Easier moving can start with thorough preparation. Not only are expecting moms required to handle the chores of prepping the new place on top of packing the old, but they must always be thinking of what’s OK for the baby. One of the first things to do to help is to consult the doctor. Recommendations on avoiding heavy lifting may already be at the forefront of your mind, but medical experts could offer further advice. This also presents an opportunity to gather necessary medical information and documents to have for a new doctor once the move is complete.
It’s important to listen to your body and stay positive throughout the experience. While stress can’t be completely removed, these suggestions and more like them can help the move be less stressful. For further tips and a handy timeline on moving while pregnant, please see the accompanying resource.
