TLDR: pregnant with first baby (5 weeks) and considering moving to another state away from our family for job opportunities

Hi all! My husband and I have been together for the last 10 years and I’ve just gotten pregnant for the first time. I discontinued birth control last year cause we felt we were ready for a kid and I just found out I’m like 5 weeks pregnant now.

I’ve been in school for 7 years working towards a big goal and I applied to a few out of state jobs prior to knowing I would soon be pregnant. I was offered a job in NYC and it seems like an amazing opportunity and I feel it would make me stronger professionally in the long run. My husband continues to say “we’re going to take the best opportunity that’s offered” so he says he’s definitely willing to move as well. Our entire family lives in Utah though and we would only know a two people in NYC. We’re also considering a job in WA state which would be a little easier adjustment but we have zero friends or family there; however we’d be closer to home so family could more easily travel up and stay with us to help if they wanted to (which I already know the grandmas do.)

My question is, do y’all think it’s crazy to move right now during this time when we’re bringing our first baby into the world?

I feel selfish moving away from our family as I know they really want to be around the baby but also we’ve been working towards this career goal a long time and my husband is just as adamant as I am that we take the best opportunity, even if it’s out of state.

We’ve discussed getting a nanny to help as I’ll likely only take a month off before working full-time again and my husband works full time as well from home. We know it’d be incredibly challenging but we have been so excited about these next steps and I think we could make it through. But any advice anyone might have would be greatly appreciated!
