I am 36 weeks pregnant and for the past 3 weeks I have been cleaning everything in site. Not just vaccuming and mopping and dusting but cleaning every cupboard in the house, all the inside and outside windows of the house, all the doors inside the house, the blinds, fans, just everything that I see dirt or dust on. I think I need to slow down a bit but I just can't help it. I know that there is a nesting period before bub arrives but I am getting sick of it now. My husband thinks I'm crazy! Is anyone else doing this?
NESTING!! Sorry, but it seems to borderline on obsessive compulsive with every pregnant woman.
I don't think there is really anything you can do. Unless you wanna stop, sit down, and then obsess, over something else and have to exort near godlike will power not to get up and clean some more.
I have had my fair share of Obsessive cleaning through the 3rd trimester but have hit an exhausted patch although you should see my to do list!!! NOw that is out of control!
Ummm yes! The other day out of the blue I just got the urge to wash and clean the walls and doors - I've never done that in my life!!! I had no idea what I was doing and what to use either, but I just HAD to do it!
I think it's normal to go a bit cleaning crazy at this stage
I remember with my first standing on the chairs so I could get up and clean inside the top of the pantry and the high cupboards...ahhahaha. With Oskar I didn't do so much but we'd just moved house and I don't think I could be bothered by then after moving, cleaning old house, cleaning new house cos the previous owners had left it as a pigsty! This time, I've already had my moments that's for sure!
