Would you move with a newborn?

[Mashedupbanana]

We are expecting a second baby and in the process of buying a house. We were hoping it would complete before the baby arrived but I'm now 35 weeks and its likely to happen around due date or just after.

We are first time buyers and heard this week that we can stay for a couple more years in our rental house if we like (we were previously going to have to leave).

Long term buying this house is probably a good idea. However there are some issues from the survey which we need to resolve and lots of decisions to be made (carpets, decorating etc). I'm not sure I will be able to cope with it all just weeks after giving birth and we have a 3 year old too.

The thought of staying put is very tempting as it would alleviate all the stress but is that a bit short sighted?
What would you do?

I've done it - newborn was actually very portable and spent most of the day asleep! I did have a full packing service though and the toddler spent the day at nursery. DH was at work so I was on my own but the removers were awestruck (or took pity on me!) and were extra helpful as a result.

I moved back from the USA to UK when ds was 5 weeks old and dd's were 13&10. I had the house packed by removals firm while Dh was overseas already when ds was 4 weeks old! Definitely pay someone to pack for you!
Tbh, moving with a newborn was a doddle. Much easier than when they are a few months old and moving around more! My ds spent most of the time in a sling on me on Dh or feeding and then sleeping!
The older kids were harder work!! Lol!
