Anyone debating whether to move now or after the baby?

Question

My husband and I are debating whether we should buy a house before I give birth or just wait until the baby is a few months old. It sucks living in a small apt and I would really for my baby to have his/her own room. Not sure if the stress of moving will be too much for me. Has anyone moved before their due date?

Answer

Our lease is up on this tiny ass apartment that we are in, on April 1st! We just moved to the Pacific NW from Denver about 9 months ago and have had our 2 sons, our cat and my husband and I crammed into this small 2 bedroom apartment!! Too small! We will actually be renting a house before we decide where we want to buy in the Seattle area, but YES, we are moving in April into a 3/4 bedroom house. I will be 6/7 months pregnant at the time and I don't care!! Haha. We have to get out of here. 
So yes, we are!!! Can't wait to have a big room for my husband and I, a room for the boys, a room for my home office (my work desk and computers are crammed into the corner of my husband and I's room) AND a room to start decorating the new nursery! That sounds so fun! 
My husband and I have moved every couple years since we've been together (7 years) so it's not a huge deal, even though moving does stink and is even harder when pregnant! But the new house is worth the exhaustion of moving. We will be so much more comfortable, happy and ready for this new baby. 
Good luck with your decision!

Answer

I moved after my first actually more than once and I would always always choose to do it pregnant! It so hard finding time to unpack and get the house together when you have a little one and are adjusting to their schedule.

Answer

My husband and I are planning on moving from Texas back home to Michigan in June (after the school year ends as I’m a teacher). The logic is that it will be easier without the newborn and we’re moving to be closer to family for some help with our first.

Answer

I actually moved the day after we got home from the hospital with my 5 year old.  It was the worst thing ever and my idiot of an ex thought it was the greatest idea he’s ever had. I just wish we’d have done it before she got there

Answer

I haven’t moved, but we did a complete interior renovation with my first. Now, with my second, we are putting on an addition. I honestly think moving would be less stressful. 
I think start looking. If you find something you like, go for it! If you don’t, I would def wait a few months for you to heal. Baby will be fine with whatever happens!

Answer

I would move before. My husband were in a 1 bedroom 600sqft apartment and moved into a 3 bedroom 1,300sqft 4 days before my daughter was born. I can’t imagine surviving in the little apartment we had.

Answer

Do it now!!!

Answer

I'm almost 15 weeks and planning on moving. Looking now and hopefully we will move before I get to big. Idk how far along you are it would be hard right before due date but not impossible

Answer

We’re moving ASAP. We have our offer accepted on a house and we’re ready to rock. I can’t imagine house hunting with a newborn.

Answer

I just moved. 2 weeks ago. I'm week 11 right now and everything is fine. My husband packed most of the stuff and we got movers. Just don't carry anything. I just helped organized and fold clothes.
