Does anyone else feel the urge to move when pregnant???

[LaDeeDa]

Ok .... so i know that the fact that I hate melbourne might have a tiny little bit to do with this ....
that and the fact that my house is completely inappropriate for kids BUT....

Does anyone else have the overwhelming urge to pick up stumps and go somewhere new when pg?
I feel like I want to go back to the country.... now logically I know that I dislike where I come from more than I dislike Melbourne but at the moment it just seems to damn attractive.

Lower cost of living, if you drive for half an hour you end up in another town not 10kms away.... no major commuting.... no diesel dust stains on my window sills..... no syringes on my front lawn (yeah ok I live on a main road behind a bus stop )

or maybe i want to go somewhere warm (still trying to convince DF that moving to QLD is a great idea even though he's from FNQ)

I don't know......

has anyone else experienced this in 3rd tri or is it just me???

[DaintreeDream]

Yes, yes and yes.... I even went looking at numerous houses in numerous places,I was convinced that I was going to move before DD was born, mind you I am still loving in the same yucky house!!! I think I will be staying here now until we get our buts into gear and move to Cairns , maybe your DF (and you)should move back closer to home and we could meet again up north!!!

[LaDeeDa]

I'm working on it Deanne...

Dan is from Cairns but I'm from Benalla in NE Vic and I def don't want to go back there (beautiful place ....but don't feel like everyone knowing my biz and what they don't know making up ...LOL)

maybe we should pick up and go together then they'll have to follow us

[DaintreeDream]

I used to live in Euroa, I loved the country life! But I know what you mean everyone knowing everyones buisness.

My DP is even more keen to move to Cairns then me, we are waiting until DD is medically in a better place (which is basically attending a few more specialist appointments) and then we will be right! Except then we have to tell our Mums that we actually have a date and taking there DD to the other side of the country I think maybe within the year.... keep working on him

I certainly dont have the urge to move... but i am going to.... we live in a draughty shack and are building a lovely new house. But as for the urge No No No. Im dreading it! if it wasnt for the lovely outcome (and the awful shack) i would stay put.

[Karina]

YES!! I had a huge urge to pack up and move. I put it down to nesting! I nested big time. Anyhow, it never happened and we still live in the same place.

[mbear]

i dunno about moving, but certainly rennos or extending. 3 out of my 4 pregnancies have seen bathroom renos, home extensions....ATM we're knee deep in gyprock and building materials.....its seems to come hand in hand with a pregnancy around here.......maybe its just a good time for a change....

I decided that we should sell our house (after we'd been thinking about it for a while). Suddenly I just decided that we should do it. So we did. But actually I didn't find out I was pg until the day after we signed the contract so I'm not sure if being pg made a difference. TBH, I wouldn't have organised to move during my first tri if I'd known I was pg, but it all worked out in the end.

[Ginger]

nothing wrong with where you live dee, it's a beautiful part of the world!

[LaDeeDa]

i don't think it's the suburb it's where I am in it thats hard.....the friendly neighbourhood DD out the front is a bit much
that and our house is just way to small now - that or I could just be hormonal

[Antheia]

I have a huge urge to move right now. But i know that if we do, i probably won't get my homebirth. So we are putting the house up for sale just after bub is born and moving back to QLD! Hopfully it won't take long to sell.

[Mrs BB]

YES!
DH has just applied for a new job in another town... so he can be home everynight and we would be in a company house... (he is currently FIFO)
That means we can rent out our house, save $ and live comfortably on one income...
So fingers crossed
If he doesnt get it... then we will be happy to stay as we have only been in new house for 2 years...

[OceanPrincess]

Absolutely - I became convinced we had to had to had to buy a house RIGHT NOW as I was sick of renting!

It was a bit of a Princess moment - and we get the keys to our new house tomorrow

[lilcosmo]

We did move house - when I was 16 weeks pg. I think it comes with wanting the best for your new bub. Our old place was lovely, but too small. We are now also closer to DP's work which means more home time for him
