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.
