Nesting... did you do it?

January 6th, 2009
  • I have had a surge of energy today.

    I got husband out gardening and spent the day inside cleaning cupboards, vacuuming (even UNDER everything), washed all baby clothes ready, made up the cradle, packed baby bag for hospital, baked cookies with my toddler - and I did not even have my usual afternoon sleep.

    I can't remember getting like this with my other pregnancies.

    Would you call this "nesting"?

    Did you "nest"? If so, how long after did you have your baby?


  • Yes, it probably is.

    I nested very early in pregnancy. Both times. It all had to be organised.

    With my last pregnancy we moved house, and oh I nearly had a break down. Seriously all these boxes, rubbish. ARRRRR!!!
    My house was unpacked within 2 days.


  • yes with both pregnancies. around 30-32 weeks. and i didnt have my babies until 38 and 39 weeks


  • I'm at 7 months pregnant and WISH i had that kind of energy. Yes sometimes I do have bursts of energy...especially in the morning which is weird b/c I'm not a morning person at all.


  • Oh Yes I did that!!
    I actually pulled the entire fridge apart and cleaned it top to bottom.. that took hours.
    My nesting came at a good time actually because we had just moved into our house and I was able to pack everything away nicely and get back on everything on track. (i know... we moved a week before my due date, I dont recommend it )

    I had read/heard that you start your 'nesting' a day or two before you go into labour so I was waiting for my labour to start.
    Best of luck. But I'd say by now you pretty much know what you are doing :)


  • hi, i nested at 39 weeks pregnant and i ended up having my baby 41 weeks. good luck and labor is just around the corner for you. try cleaning the bathroom floor, scrub it. that makes alot of woman go into labor.


  • Yes ... with my first one I actually DID that!

    Which was a laugh ... my hubby actually said, out loud, at our Lamaze class, that "the day my wife goes on a cleaning spree is the day I think I came home to the wrong house!" Honest, I HATE cleaning.

    But I tore apart the range and cleaned it ... scrubbed every floor and vacuumed every carpet ... cleaned both bathrooms top-to-bottom, reorganized all the kitchen cabinets ... then made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and gravy, all from scratch. I did all that in a single afternoon.

    I was in labor before midnight and my daughter was born the next afternoon!


  • I did that 2 days before I had my daughter. I cleaned my entire house, the floors, I actually got on my hands and knees and scrubbed my floors. After cleaning all day, I still wanted to go shopping that night.


  • I "nested" with all three of my babies. I would say it started about 3 weeks before delivery and my house has never been so organized! Look on the bright side - when everyone comes to see the baby after he/she is born, your house will be in tip-top shape for company.


  • Nest, I rearrange the whole damn house!! lol

    I started nesting around the time I went into labor. It was really funny, because at that time, I really didn't have the energy to clean anything. Then one day BAM! I had the whole house clean in two hours (looked like cleaning ladies came in after I was done lol.)


  • lol, Aw, nesting is the best. I know some women that nest during their entire pregnancy, in the very beginning, very end, sometimes middle. Any time, really. You're ready to be a mama, yay. Congrats!
