Moving house at 36 weeks pregnant

[Rosemichelle29]

We’ve only just moved out of my dads house last week, been here for around 5 days now and I can’t seem to settle. The whole moving was no problem, i just don’t feel comfortable and can relax more at my dads. My dog isn’t settling so I’m worrying about her not being comfortable for when the baby comes also. Has any one else moved late pregnancy and not settled? Will it get better?

I haven't been through it but it's in the future!
Maybe it's down to the whole 'nesting' vibe you're supposed to get and you don't feel you've had that time or you were settled and now feel uprooted?
I'm sure it will get better, is there any light work you could do in the house to try and make it more homely and you settle? I know these things take so much time however, I'm dreading it!

Don't worry - it is sod's law one ends up moving or doing huge renovations when you're about to get married or have a baby! Hope you settle, too - I agree that your unease may be the nesting instinct going 'Whoa, I don't even know this nest, what the hell?!' but it will fall into place I am sure!

We got the keys when I was in labour, the most interesting part (aside from wearing my tens machine to meet the estate agent) was that DH had to pop home to make sure furniture was moved so we had at least a bed and stuff for baby whilst I was in hospital. I absolutely wouldn't recommend that, but I think how you are feeling is normal anyway when you move, let alone when pregnant. Once baby is here I am sure you will feel differently. The first few days I hated it and wanted to move back to my old place, but after that I felt super comfortable, and although I still missed it a bit, it has been lovely having somewhere new to start the next chapter (cheesy as that sounds).

Hi - I moved into my first house around 34 weeks pregnant. I hated it. I cried for days (I’m 40 weeks now) and didn’t feel settled at all. We were living with my dad beforehand and were renovating this house. It’s only this past week or so that I’ve felt a little bit better and I’m assured it will feel even better when baby is here as it will be his house and the only one he’s ever known x

We moved a couple of months back when I was 25 weeks. Bloody hated it. Cried and cried for the old place, and only now just about feeling settled in the new place. Persevere and your things out and your pictures on the walls (that made a huge difference to me). It will get better xxx
