Partner wants me to go back and forth whilst living at parents

I am 29 weeks pregnant and we both still live with our parents. Up to now we have been staying a couple of days at my parents and a couple of days at his. I am starting to get uncomfortable and my sleep is basically non existent so I would prefer to stay at home all the time but I don’t know if I’m being selfish? It also doesn’t help that his brother is at his parents who is always kicking off with his family members in the house so there is always shouting.

We have plans to move out around April time next year and we did have a plan to move in to my parents as soon as I hit 37 weeks.

My question is, would you try and stick it out by going back and forth every other day or put my foot down and say how I feel and that I will be staying at home?

I would definitely be prioritising your sleep & health. It's not selfish to do that at all. Travelling back & forth & disturbing your routine doesn't seem to be working well for you so I would be having a conversation with your partner about why it isn't working for you and stay in one home. You can always visit his home/family for the day or over a weekend occasionally.
I have had to limit visiting friends & family overnight (something we usually do multiple times a month), because it's affecting my sleep so badly & I'm much earlier in my pregnancy than you.

Thank you! I always knew that I needed to put myself and baby first but I guess I just needed reassuring I wasn’t being too selfish. He came to live with us over covid so I don’t see why he couldn’t again. I am starting to get the aches and pains now that keep me awake all night and I’m up quite a lot to go to the toilet aswell so I just don’t sleep at all! But I would rather me in my own home comforts
