That\u2019s why we\u2019ve compiled a list with all the dos and don\u2019ts for a stress-free relocation to help you fight the baby brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_avoid\"><\/span>Things to avoid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be involved in every step of your house move, you need to know which tasks to undertake and which to assign to someone else. Health and safety should be your primary concern. So, before you decide on handling a more time-consuming or tiring job, consult with your personal physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving during the first and third trimester<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/news\/2019\/07\/30\/uw-study-house-move-during-early-pregnancy-linked-to-heightened-premature-birth-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent University of Washington study<\/a> found a link between moving house during the first trimester and a heightened risk of premature birth, in addition to low birth weight and small body size. Some of the potential triggers for preterm delivery may include disruptions in health checks, increased levels of stress and physical exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, changing your doctor at the last stages of pregnancy is not as difficult in the UK as it is in other parts of the world. As long as you have all of your antenatal appointments in order and the notes from your previous doctor, everything would be fine, regardless of where you do your check-ups. The easiest way to find a suitable GP is to search through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NHS Service Search<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lifting heavy objects<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Handling large and bulky items is out of the question. Even if your baby bump is not big, there are limits to how much you can physically train your body before you hurt yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, the most common pregnancy injuries affect the same muscles and joints used when lifting and moving objects. These injuries include <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Symphysis_pubis_dysfunction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pubic symphysis dysfunction<\/a> (SPD), back strain and dislocated vertebrae, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sacroiliac_joint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sacroiliac joint<\/a> issues and carpal tunnel pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave the heavy lifting to someone else, while you tackle smaller items. However, you need to ensure all of the people involved in the process know the proper and safe way of doing so. For more information on the subject, you can read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/lift-heavy-objects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">comprehensive guide on how to lift heavy objects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing house cleaning chores or repainting jobs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is something else most people forget, being pregnant also limits your exposure to a wide variety of chemicals. Therefore, you need to be ready to make your own homemade concoctions, which do not contain ammonia and bleach and put in some elbow grease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind to not exert yourself and take regular breaks. Alternatively, you can opt for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/move-out-cleaning\/\">Fantastic end of tenancy cleaning service<\/a> and we\u2019ll make sure your place is spotless before you relocate to your new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, painting the baby room or any other section of your home is also a task better left to someone else due to the prevalence of lead in old paintwork or the use of solvent-based paints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is no other option and you have to do the work yourself, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/pregnancy\/finding-out\/what-to-do-when-you-find-out-you-are-pregnant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NHS advises<\/a> avoiding painting during the first trimester and using water-based paint. Always wear protective gear and do not consume edibles in the same room that\u2019s being painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_and_tricks\"><\/span>Tips and tricks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know which tasks to avoid, it\u2019s time to concentrate on all the ways you can help and not feel left out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay hydrated and take timely breaks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned above, regardless of what you do, health and safety should be your number one priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, don\u2019t forget to set regular reminders to drink plenty of water, have a snack or have a quick rest. If you schedule your breaks and meals throughout the day, it would be one less thing to worry about and you can focus your efforts on the remaining tasks at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start planning as early as possible<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to a smooth and hassle-free move is to create a master plan with all the necessary tasks. Being pregnant only adds to the list of chores, but that doesn\u2019t mean a house move is impossible. It takes time and patience. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll have to start as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to incorporate your antenatal care into the plan is to make a plan with all the medical appointments and parenting classes you attend and schedule the rest of your chores around them. Then, divide the tasks by category and start tackling them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check for additional safety measures you can take to avoid injuries<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances or obstacles around the house you need to overcome. For example, a dangerous flight of stairs to climb, a narrow passage between rooms to navigate through or an awkward object to move. Here are some of the ways you can prevent such issues:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-red-check\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Always have a blanket near you, in case you have to spend more time in a drafty area of the house. The blanket can also serve as a prop, if your back starts hurting and you need the support<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Get wrist braces and a back support belt to limit physical damage<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Wear comfortable shoes, which help with any balance issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Postpone Getting the Baby Furniture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be tempted to start decorating and arranging the new baby room right away. However, there\u2019s nothing more annoying than buying something you really like, only to find out that you have to sell it because it doesn\u2019t fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving before the baby comes allows you to see how much free space you have available for the extra furniture and save some money by purchasing only what\u2019s necessary. It also significantly lowers the amount of boxes and furniture you have to move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of boxes and items is usually taken into account as a pricing factor by removals companies. Instead of moving more items, you can order the baby furniture straight to your new place and just add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/furniture-collection\/\">furniture collection<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/furniture-assembly\/\">furniture assembly<\/a> as additional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register With A New GP<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular medical appointments are an important part of antenatal care. Finding a new personal physician or a midwife is not difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve signed up your new permanent address and registered with a new GP, make sure you tell your current doctor you are moving away, so a file with all of the relevant information regarding your pregnancy can be prepared. Then, you just bring the file to your next appointment with your new doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re attending pregnancy classes, you may need to check whether you can transfer mid-course to a similar class in a different area. Usually, this shouldn\u2019t be a problem, however, keep in mind that parenting classes can vary widely in terms of curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore Your New Neighbourhood<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many benefits of getting to know the area surrounding your new home before the baby comes:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-red-check\">\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Locating the closest surgery<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Making new friends<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Joining a mummy group<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Selecting your child\u2019s nursery<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"icon-check\"><\/i>Picking your new favourite places to eat and shop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest advantage is that you\u2019ll have time to settle and research the quickest routes to the hospital. If you regularly go out and practice travelling these paths, you\u2019ll establish a routine, which will make it easier and less stressful afterwards. These regular walks can be a nice addition to the recommended daily exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get help From friends and family members<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember your pregnancy announcement? Everyone was so happy and offered to help you in any way possible. Well, now is the time to call your family and your friends and ask for their support. You may have to persuade them with food and drinks, but that\u2019s a small price to pay when there are so many things to sort, pack and lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Declutter, organize and label<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not being able to handle heavy and bulky items doesn\u2019t mean there is no way you can participate in the removals process. You can organize a garage sale or an online giveaway to get rid of all the unwanted items in your home. Decluttering before the baby comes is a great way to make more room for the new furniture and toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you manage to sort through all the mess, it\u2019s time to organize and label. You can divide your belongings into different categories. Most people divide them by room, so it\u2019s easier to label the boxes, sort them in the moving van and then arrange them afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-declutter-your-home\/\">How to Declutter Your Home Before Moving<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantastic-removals.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-label-moving-boxes\/\">How to Label Moving Boxes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare your hospital bag<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Anything can happen, so you will have to prepare a hospital bag to take along with the box of essentials. What\u2019s in each bag, you ask?
