Relocating to a new area whilst pregnant - advice?!

My partner and I may need to relocate from Wales to the south of England for a job opportunity. I am in my third trimester, due mid September. I’m excited at the idea of moving somewhere new but it’s coming with lots of questions and anxiety, especially around having a birth plan and trying to wind down before baby comes. Does anyone have any experience with this and any advice they can share? 🙏

I’ve just moved 92 miles away from “home” to live with my partner. It is a big thing but we made sure that we had the house early on so that we could paint and decorate and move stuff over, over a few weeks rather than on just one day. I also chose to finish a little earlier from work so that I had at least 2 weeks before counting as “full term” so moved at 35 weeks. I will be 37 weeks on Thursday and slowly getting there, it’s daunting being in a new area but I’ve met my new midwife and consultant and been to the new hospital this week and everyone is so lovely! Good luck!

@Naomi this is so reassuring. Thank you!

No problem! If you need any more advice with it etc, feel free to message x

Im in the south east if you want to chat! X

I moved in January and had my baby in March. The transfer of care went really smoothly. They were super fast and it all went well. I have severe anxiety so was worried, but it was fine x

We moved from down South to Stockport 5 weeks b4 I was due to pop. Plan, organise, contact midwifes, gp, hospital early and get registered. Buy baby stuff n move with it unless u have time once moved. Think about what the new house will need - decorating, carpets, furniture etc and plan in advance. Chase gp, midwife hospital once ur in new area to make sure u get care.

Ohh and get help moving. 😀

@Sarah so reassuring thank you!
