I hope I am, but right now am having a major wobble and feeling very emotional. I'm 35 wks pg with dc 2... and I'm moving house tomorrow. And I'm planning a home birth. Confused

We've been wanting to move for a while and the new house seemed like a great idea at the time, it's in a lovely area backing onto fields and has other positives like an en-suite (admittedly looking forward to having showers instead of baths) ... but now I'm really scared that I've made the wrong decision and it's too late to do anything. The original intention was to move somewhere with more space and I've somehow ended up with a house with less, to the point of having to sell furniture to fit everything in.

I also didn't realise how much I love this house and am feeling really tearful and sad about leaving it. It's only rented but I've been so happy here and this was the house I moved to when I left my ex-h and it meant a lot to me to have a house where I was finally safe with my dd.

Also there are loads of kids here and my 9 yr old dd enjoys playing out in the nice weather and I am so worried that she will be lonely/there won't be any kids for her to play with at the new house...

And the home birth issue is really worrying me, what was I thinking moving at this point?? Please tell me I'm BU and it will all be ok! I just keep thinking oh god what have I done?!! Sad

it'll be fine. i moved at about the same stage and we had time to settle before dd arrived. that was in spite of DH ending up in hospital the day of the move when i had spd and didn't have a car. it really was the move from hell.

i'm sure it is just stress jitters and it is much better to get it out of the way now than try and move after. let us know how it goes.

I think it's lastminute jitters. Very stressful, is moving. Lots of doubts creep in once you're on the cusp of it. Being pg adds more stress and tiredness to it.

Hope it goes well tomorrow.
