I am also moving in about three weeks. It's a 9 hour drive, we've taken it twice to find the place we wanted, next step, uhaul truck! I'll be 34 weeks during the official move so I'm nervous about Not being much help. I have a vibrating pillow for my back that is a life saver! Get one (:

Take a whole lot of stops to stretch ur legs and stop whenever ur tired and make sure to eat and drink well and dont hold ur pee. You should be fine. Infortunately the world doesnt stop spinning when were prego and im sure your not the first and wont be the last to move that far into ur pregnancy. Just make sure to stop as often as you can and stretch ur legs for 10minutes ish. It may take longer but itll be a rough drive for you being 7months and all. It wont be super comfy lol

I would take lots of breaks and be prepared to even stop for the night and finish the next couople of hours the next morning. Take a cooler with water and drinks and snacks that are easy to eat while driving... And have fun!
