Nesting

:hello:
Did anyone have a hugh sensation to "nest" clean before they gave birth also how long if so did you give birth. As today i ahve forsed my slef to sit down for 1/2 hour to have lunch and post otherwise all i want to do is clean, but my back can not really take much for of that.

Kelly......absolutely.....with both Olivia and Charlie........

With Olivia it was just about all I did a month before she was born......obsessive!

WIth Charlie it was less so, but still full on....

I am sure it is hardwired into our brains so that our babes come home to a lovely clean envionment.......

Oh yes!
For the two days before I went into labour with Emily I was cleaning like a madwoman.
I've started with this one already LOL.

Your getting close now Tanya!! Good luck, hun!!!

Tulip ~ That sounds exactly like me! I was THE most unorganised person on earth before I got pregnant....I had no system for anything and my life was total chaos.

I'm pleased to say that the nesting frenzy that began when I was pregnant definitely stuck around after the baby was born :) DH couldn't believe the change in me when she was born and we've lived together for 10 years before she came along LOL.

I cant wait for nesting - I'm counting on it,LOL

Hey KHM

mine kicked into over drive in the last 2 days. I have tpo have a million lists with everything I want done written down, yesteday was a little nuts!!

I didnt have an nesting with my DD thou. Im hoping I dont keep going like this for the next 4 weeks..... Dh and DD might move out.

You havent got much longer to go so hopefully this is a good sign of things to come

I'm trying to clean the house as we speak but the other half doesn't make it any easy for me....grrrrrrrrrr

rayla - don't count on it..... This was my (and my husbands)attitude and it never happened for my 1st baby. Luckily, my brothers girl friend came and cleaned the house while I was giving birth....

No nesting for #1 but a real urge to nest with #2. Not so much cleaning nesting, but sewing nesting. I wanted to make little nappies and slings and a hammock and bum wipes and all kinds of stuff. However, DS (who was 18mths old at the time) didn't let me have the time to do so....

I didn't do any nesting but just the usual cleaning of once a week pre kids! My mum was up scrubbing walls at midnight the day before she had me!

I was a nester with my last pregnancy for most of the pregnancy, I think - it really kicked in in the second trimester, and by 30 weeks was just rediculous! I don't know how many times I "sorted out" the cuboards, and cleaned under the beds, went through the babies clothes, folding and re-folding them. And I must have dusted the waiting cradle every second day!

I am not as far along as you but I already feel the need to have my house cleaner and tidier. Nothing too excesive though.
