Moving While Pregnant Tips

Moving can be a stressful transition all on its own, but moving while pregnant takes the cake. There are tips for all kinds of moving dependent on location or timeline, but there are also tips for moving while pregnant that are key to keep in mind.

  1. Limit your weight lifting – It is very tempting to help more than you should during a move.  Of course, no one can do it better than you, right?  No. Remember, it is unsafe for you to move boxes or items weighing more than 15-20 lbs.  If you haven’t lifted much of anything during the pregnancy, you should limit yourself to just 10 lbs.  It is unsafe both for your own body and the baby’s to push yourself too hard.  A sore back due to pulling a muscle will only stress you out more.
  2. Keep hydrated – No matter what time of year you are moving, working hard always works up a sweat.  Even though you have the ability to sweat and cool down, your baby does not.  Drinking water regularly throughout the day will keep you hydrated and your body temperature normal.
  3. Learn to delegate – Friends and family are always willing to help out in a move, especially if you are pregnant.  It is important to know that you can not do it all and use their help.  You should have prioritized lists made of things that need to be done for the move.  Take these lists and start assigning things to different people.  It is important to keep them busy.  People do not like to feel useless when volunteering their time.  Offer to buy something easy for dinner for everyone who is helping out.

So while life change is always expected during pregnancy, moving can throw your whole life for a loop.  Keeping moving tips for pregnancy in mind while preparing and going through a move is vital.  Stay healthy and keep your baby’s health in mind to have a successful, pregnant move.
