Not sure if you remember hun, we had a similar thing when DD2 was born (about 3months I think from memory). We waited until she was born. dd1 was in daycare on the day we moved and dd2 was little enough I put the portacot up and/or had her in a carrier while I did what I could to help. Probably would have been easier to do it before she was born buit thats how it happened.
I'm more than happy to come and help you in the evenings when I can.
I would wait so you can save a bit and find a place you like. Moving with a tiny baby is hard, but you just need your mum or an older person to sit and hold baby while you do other stuff. I would also recommend professional packers too.
I would start looking now, but only jump into a pre-baby move if the place is perfect and you can afford professional removalists.
We moved when DD2 was a week old, wasnt an issue really. Id start packing what you can live without slowly and look then just move when you find something suitable. Having a flexible end date could be a blessing.
Good luck, it must be a huge shock after so long in one place. I hope you find somewhere perfect!
My gut feel would be before as you never know what might come with the birth - you might need a c-section which would put you out of physical action for a while, or you may need a longer stay in hospital etc. I know that sounds paranoid but I guess for me I would consider that there are more unknowns after the birth than before if that makes sense.
What a horrible position to be in - I hope you can find another place easily.
The other thing maybe you could do is ask your landlord (since they are already feeling bad) if they can give you a month rent-free or something so you can take up a lease sooner on a new one and do stuff gradually? Just an idea...
