When did nesting kick in and when did you start to feel tired again?

With both of my previous pregnancies, I didn't 'nest' until the night before I had them. I think that's my sign of impending labour! Tiredness, with this pregnancy it hit about 5 days ago. Up until then, I had so much energy and felt fantastic. I now feel like I'm 38 weeks pregnant, but I'm only 31!

i finished up work around 33/34 weeks & i was pretty tired when i got home from work (it was an hours drive each way) but i wasn't too bad. from there on, because i was at home, i could have a nana nap most afternoons & i was fine.

with the nesting - i never got it in the cleaning form so i'd say do the chores now if you want/feel motivated! my nesting was only ever really to do with cooking...i didn't know it was possible to bake so many batches of muffins & cookies! my DP put on about 3kg

I can't get enough of baking at the moment! I'm having a forced break from it (which means I haven't baked a cake in 4 days) and dh asked me last night where the cake was as he's getting cravings for cake every day now lol

I renovated a house pregnant with my first, and added a bedroom pregnant with my second (with 12' ceilings, I had some issues hauling myself up onto the scaffold to paint). This time ... meh. I've sorted the old baby clothes out, made sure we've got everything we need, and I'm trying to get the backyard landscaped so we can sell this house to pay for one we actually all fit into. But nothing so dramatic as the last two times. I guess building an entire new house for the baby counts as pretty extreme nesting but it is very hands off

But right now I have a nasty cold so slobbing around in my pajamas honking my way through lots of tissues and spending a lot of time snuggling with a sick toddler on the couch is taking precedence over nesting.

I kept waiting for the nesting bug to kick in, but I'm not sure it did. Probably the closest I got to nesting was the day before DD was born I cleaned out the cupboard underneath the sink, I did actually want to do the rest of the kitchen cupboards but I was having sporadic contractions and had to walk through alot of them so it was too annoying to keep getting interrupted with them so I gave up.

As for getting tired again, I finished work a few days before I hit 38wks, and it hit me then how very tired I was. I nanna napped nearly every day until I had her and took it really easy.
