Waiting for that nesting spurt...or force it?

Question

Supposedly I should feel the sudden urge to clean and have a burst of energy right before labor. But I have just been exhausted, wanting to nap all day. Don’t remember having the nesting spurt before my second baby either. 
My kitchen could really use tidying up. And have laundry to catch up on, too. 
Wondering if I should just wait for the urge to clean or force myself to get up and do it?

Answer

Nap. Naps are great. Clean at a puttering rate IF you want but... nap. Or just veg and watch TV. You’ve got a hard day’s work coming soon!

Answer

This is my third one, and never hit a point in qny pregnanacy where I suddenly wanted to clean. 😂

Answer

Same! 37w4d today & I’m currently about to force myself to nest as there’s still so much to do & I’ll be induced (if he doesn’t come by then) due to high bp in 10 days at 39 weeks. This is my third child and I feel like that has a lot to do with it too as I’m generally exhausted as is even without being pregnant😴 Everyone tells me to relax before the chaos of having 3 kids comes but i can’t relax knowing there’s still so much to clean/organize!! I just have 0 energy to do it ugh

Answer

I'm wondering too lol my house is a disaster with a TON going on this week, plus I'm 3cm & 50% so in like.. be lazy, or clean? Ugh decisions lol

Answer

Same! I'm so tired and it hurts to walk. All I wanna do is sleep all day. Obviously I can't since I have a 4 year old but yeah I definitely don't have the nesting feeling at all.

Answer

I nested at like 23 weeks then it stopped a couple weeks later.  I had bad restless leg syndrome toward the end but had no energy to do anything.

Answer

My question exactly!! But why do it now when I’m exhausted...might as well wait, right? 😝

Answer

I’m 37+6 and felt great, energetic all week and then today I just have zero energy and can’t be bothered to do a thing. Luckily my 2 kids are in nursery in the morning today, so I let myself be lazy but just can’t snap out of it. I’d say set a 15m timer and do what you can before the timer goes off. Do the same tomorrow, and hopefully you can chip away at it, or wake up one morning and get a burst of energy!
