Is nesting real?

Question

Is nesting real? I’m halfway through my 33rd week, and all I want to do is sleep. All y’all saying you want to clean and organize, and I’m sitting here like, I can’t sleep at night, I’m tired all the time, I work more than 50 hours a week, I barely have enough energy to make dinner, no thank you. I have NO URGE at all to clean, set up the nursery, or organize. Does it come later? Is it even a real thing? Please help!

Answer

I’m 33+4 today and spent 15 minutes sweeping the floor and that was more than enough activity for me today 💁🏽 I’m right there with you!

Answer

It doesn’t happen to everyone (I think). I was reading that Nesting is common among many pregnancies, but other have the urge to sleep and rest up as a way to prepare your body for delivery. I myself have not started nesting or have felt fatigue and I’m a bit over 37weeks.

Answer

I've have moved and reorganized my apartment many times already and it's still not right... I wake up at night unable to sleep because it's not right or even if I have laundry that needs to be done or dishes I have to wash them to go back to bed. I'm normally not a clean freak at all. if floors are dirty I must sweep and mop... and end up mopping almost 3-4 times a week.. 36 weeks tomorrow.

Answer

I'm 38 weeks and haven't felt the urge yet! I'm kinda bummed... I've put off things cause I thought I would be "nesting" right now😂😂😂 Now I'm miserable doing those last minute things, go figure

Answer

Very real..At 35 weeks I started cleaning and organizing everything non stop.

Answer

Answer

I had like one day of nesting. I kept waiting for more to kick in but it really didn't for me. I was very tired the last trimester and I slept a lot!

Answer

I have the urge but not the energy or time. We’re building in our house and I can’t wait to be done with that and get to decorating and cleaning! But not til I’m off work in 4 weeks!

Answer

I noticed I was in turbo drive cleaning mode just at 30 weeks and once it ended I was racked out on the couch.  been two weeks since then and I clean here and there but man I'm just so tired now

Answer

It doesn't happen to everyone, I'm on my second pregnancy and find that I must do it early. with my son and now with my daughter (28 weeks) I nested like crazy around weeks 17-24 and now I'm slowing down. I think I just get this burst of energy and try to get as much possible done while I'm small enough and comfortable enough to do so. now I'm just maintaining and getting extra rest wherever I can with a 2 year old in the house!
