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...
