To be frustrated with DH for wanting to move?

AIBU for not wanting to move whilst pregnant or with a new born? We have a lovely home that we have finally finished renovating and we cannot afford to move up the ladder, only across or down.
I’m 16 weeks pregnant with our first child and DH is having the estate agent round this weekend to take pictures. We remortgaged last year and instead of paying the things we told the mortgage advisor we’d pay off, DH decided to buy his siblings a house which I was fine with. But now he wants to move to a cheaper house that is a full renovation project and also wants us to live there whilst I’m either heavily pregnant or with a brand new baby.
Oh and the house he wants isn’t even on the market yet so he is doing this for a home that the estate agent mentioned may come in due to probate but the woman is still alive!
AIBU for just wanting to stay in this house until I go back to work after baby?

I think the first renovation/repairs that need to happen are upon his warped ideas especially lying to the mortgage lenders

I wonder how he thinks you're supposed to manage with a baby when the workmen need to shut off the electrics/gas/water and when the bathroom and/or kitchen are totally out of commission? Let alone the poor kid trying to sleep with all that banging and crashing going on around him.

Put your foot down. He can sell his siblings house

He won't turf his sibling out, but he would his pregnant wife. RUN

I am assuming you have said no and you don't want to do this? If so why is he going ahead with estate agents etc. Don't you have a say??
