Anyone with experience moving during pregnancy??

Question

I will be doing a cross country move around 12-13 weeks pregnant and we will be driving the whole way.  Other than frequent walk breaks (which we will need to do for our two dogs anyway), any other tips or tricks?  Thankfully, it’s still pretty early in the pregnancy.
Also, any helpful hints on switching OBs and picking a new birth hospital partway through pregnancy??
Thank you!! 🤰🏻☺️❤️

Answer

When eating or bribing snacks make sure they are as healthy as possible. With limited movement it'll help. Move your feet up and down to keep blood flow going to your legs. Also get some things that'll keep you guys busy like mad libs. 
I took a cross country road trip in November lol i wish I had more stuff with us.

I’m in the same boat- moving cross country in two weeks! (11-12w) Following this thread for tips ;) 
As far as docs, I got my dating ultrasound done here with my PCP, but already set up my first prenatal appt with a new provider in our new city. Explained the situation to both offices and they were helpful in setting everything up. The only downside is we will be traveling during the time frame for first trimester genetic screening, so won’t be able to get that done. 
Good luck with your move!!

I moved just a state over but it was in 105+ degree weather and I was 16 weeks AND I had bronchitis 😤 I can’t give much advice but I will say! If you take medicine I’d definitely be sure to have your Tylenol handy especially when sitting for so long you might get aches and rather be miserable just take some Tylenol! Also if you don’t already buy some poise pee pads for maximum protection because you never now if you’ll be in your last straw and can barely make it better safe than sorry! Try to make the best of it though and good luck!

Answer

I moved from FL to WA state at 6 months pregnant!! It’s was crazy. We stopped every hour so I could pee and walk around for a few minutes to keep the blood flowing in my legs. Definitely make frequent stops even if it means it’ll take longer to get there. At six months pregnant I was still suffering from “morning sickness” and the car ride made it even worse. So I recommend planning for that as well just in case! Drink lots of water too!
