AIBU to think it is a good idea to move house while 7-8 months pg? Or would you wait until after baby arrives?

Just trying to get my life in order here and would appreciate opinions!!

DH and are torn about what to do. If we moved now (well, in a few weeks time; am currently 6m pregnant with 1st baby) it would be a choice rather than a necessity. BUT there are still good reasons to do it now.

However there are also bad reasons to do it now - not the least of which is obviously the stress and also the fact that this would leave me with a brand new baby and in a brand new area.

Am in London so friends are scattered to the 4 winds across town anyway, it's not as if I have friends on my doorstep as support but nevertheless the area would be new and would be getting used to all of that (plus new home) with a new (my first) baby.

What would you do? Given that it is not an absolute necessity (eg for work or something).

Move now or move after?

I moved when 8 mths pg out of necessity and despite having removal men everywhere doing all the lifting, the stress wasn't as bad as I imagined, and much easier than moving with a 4mth old baby (I moved twice in 6 months).
But it's nice to be settled before baby turns up. And I found it easier to find baby groups with a new baby than an older one.
