We are due to move house (over 400 miles away) at the end of this month when I'll be 7 months pregnant. I'm fighting all these urges to buy stuff for baby and sort the house out and it's really difficult because we don't have a date yet. Has anyone else moved house while pregnant?

I did when I was 18, he’s almost 16 now lol
I only moved 50 Miles but it was brutal, I didn’t really buy much in advance, just essentials.
Good luck! I’d recommend getting in touch with your new hospital and midwife in advance, your current midwife can transfer your badger notes instantly whenever you’re ready to be passed over but it would be good for you to have communication in advance so you and they know what’s what x

hey! yes i moved house when i was 7 months pregnant as well. Definitely not ideal but you’ll get there don’t worry.
We tried to buy the essentials first whether that was all the baby stuff or occasional things for the house too.

Aww yes I know how you feel hun, worst times to move are moving while pregnant and Christmas. I moved 3 weeks before my daughter was due was hard as hell it must be tough not having a date yet but at least you've got a bit to go yet. X

We moved house whilst I was pregnant and whilst I was postpartum.
We mostly bought the essentials and clothes first before anything else x

I moved house a month before my due date. I had some essentials but otherwise bought the rest once I was on my new house. What might be helpful is setting up an Amazon baby registry if you haven't already and putting things in there, sharing the link with others to then see what is left to buy, and then working out what bits you will get first once you have moved. Then once you are in your new place, working through the list you have made in that priority order and being able to get it all in and start setting up their room etc. This helped me to feel like I was preparing a bit whilst not getting everything to just move it all again anyway. Good luck!
