If you are planning a move while pregnant, you want to ensure that you have coordinated as much as possible in advance. If you have children who can help, it will actually make it better for you and them. Involving them in the process helps everyone be less stressed. Love In Motion Doula Services shares some tips on how to navigate the moving process when you’re expecting:


  • When it’s time to move, pack your children’s room last and unpack it first in the new home.
  • Stick to the old meal and bedtime routines throughout the move to give your kids a sense of familiarity.
  • Hire furniture moving services - you will thank yourself and you’ll have more time to help your children. 
  • Include your kids in some decisions, such as decorations, new plates, which new park to visit first.
  • Find child and pet care for moving day to alleviate stress. 
  • Prepare your kids mentally but be prepared for anxiety - adjusting can take up to 6 months.
  • Get them pumped about their new school by taking a tour or even walking or driving by. 
  • Help them create a memory book of the old house, school, neighborhood, friends, babysitter.
  • Remember to practice self-care so that you’re on top of your game for your children.
  • Try the stress management tips from ZenBusiness to help yourself stay grounded during this major transition.
  • Whether it’s a comfortable new sports bra or your favorite jogging pants, make sure you wear easy clothes during and after your move.

For most people, moving is a very stressful and time-consuming activity.  For people with small children, the stress is even greater, and for people who are expecting and already have small children, moving can be so stressful that it may seem like an impossible task.  However, a little bit of preparation and a lot of patience can make getting through the experience a lot easier.
