Nesting instinct?

I def have it! Started at 36
I had the urge to clean because of the smell of cleaning products was craving the smell of it. Maybe spray like cleaning bleach nd u may have the urge? X
Yes I have for a few weeks. Found myself frantically cleaning the mirrors, just in case baby wants to inspect them 😉
I'm panicking a little as I'm now 37 and we are waiting for painting and carpets next week and stuff is all over our dining room! Need to try and sort it this weekend lol
I had my little girl a week ago and I can honestly say I never felt the nesting urge in the way I’ve seen people talk about it. Idk if that’s because I was in extreme pain with my pgp and the idea of doing anything at all made me want to die at points though
2nd pregnancy and I dont have the nesting instinct at all, no urge to clean at all! Too tired and uncomfortable 😂
I don’t have the cleaning nesting at all every now and then there be a task I really want done and get upset if it’s not done. Otherwise nothing. Your baking is your type of nesting.
I’m 37 weeks and have C-section booked for next Tuesday and not expecting it to kick in, could really do with it though! With my first I ended up in hospital being induced at 38+5 and don’t recall it ever kicking in then either
My “nesting” has been sorting my garden out I’ve been painting the fence and everything apparently I think my newborn is gonna judge my unpainted fence panels 😂😂 I’m booked for a section at 39 weeks though and know my husband won’t do it if I leave it to him 🫠😂 x
Probably started around 35/36 weeks for me... still going
I didn’t get the nesting urge with my first, and haven’t with this one either 🤷 would rather be chilling out and enjoying my downtime whilst I can. I have to keep motivating myself to do the sorting out, cleaning and organising!
Thank you ladies, it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one that hasn’t had it! I think I’m being too hard on myself🤦♀️ x
@Kdec22 I’m the same! It takes a lot of effort to get up and do it all x
@Leanne love that 😂. Not sure why I keep baking either, sure my newborn will love a bit of lemon drizzle when she arrives 🤦♀️😂 x
Nope, I wish it would!
