Moving is hard work, time consuming, and exhausting for anyone. Being pregnant during a move exaggerates these feelings and additional safety precautions need to be taken.
Tips to Ease the Pains of Moving during Pregnancy
Organize, Plan, and Prepare
- Utilize a moving checklist: MOVING CHECKLIST
- Start your search for a mover early. Good movers book up fast and you want someone who will be efficient, reliable, insured, and have high customer satisfaction ratings: MOVER SEARCH
- Start packing early. Avoid over exerting yourself and pace your moving tasks. Leave the heavy lifting to family, friends, and your movers.
- Although not always possible, try to avoid a move date that is close to your due date. The extra stress can bring on pre-term labor.
- Move Day: Have a designated spot where you can sit to rest and ensure you stay fed and hydrated.
