Anyone NOT nesting?

Question

I’m due April 16th and still have not gotten that “nesting” feeling. We’ve got our nursery done (thank goodness), had our baby shower, and now I’m currently trying to wash and organize clothes, blankets, etc but I do not enjoy it at all! I’m usually so exhausted from working or just feeling sick all day that i have no energy left to do anything. I’m hoping that i find the energy to deep clean our house before baby is ready to come out! I’ve been having irregular contractions and doctor said anytime after 35 weeks (next week😳) I could deliver if baby decides to come that early. I’m just so worried everything will not get done! 
Anyone else struggling to pull it together? It’s so hard being 8-9 months pregnant and trying to work full-time and keep up with everything else. I feel like I should want to do all these things, but I’m just too tired!

Answer

Cesarean is on April 16th. Any sense of nesting went away after we finished the nursery. Desire to deep clean the house is there but the motivation and energy is not.

Answer

I’m almost 36 weeks and I want to clean and pick up, but I’m soooo tired too I can’t! I am also still working and I have to go to the doctor twice a week and I have a two year old to chase around. By the time I put her to bed, I barely have the energy to do the dishes from dinner before I just have to sit and out my feet up. And by that point I just decide to go to bed and do it in the morning (which of course never happens!). I’m hoping I can pull it all together over the next week or so just so I feel more accomplished!

Answer

I’m due April 14th but will be induced at 39 weeks if baby doesn’t come before which I’m 99% sure he will come between 37/38 weeks and all I’ve accomplished so far is getting his dresser put together. My brain is nesting but my body not so much, I just don’t have any energy this time around. I keep telling my husband we need to get things done but it just doesn’t happen.

Answer

I’m due April 15th and feel the same. Our baby’s room is NOT done... we don’t even have a car seat yet (it’s being shipped right now though). For me it’s been partially an irrational fear that something is going to happen and we’re not going to bring a baby home. The other part is I work full time, I’m not sleeping well (I know none of us April mamas are), and I’m busy every weekend. I’m definitely not nesting so baby girl better not make an early appearance haha.

Answer

I am also due 16th of April and have same struggles! I am finally on maternity leave which you would think give me more time / motivation to get organised but nope, it’s not happening 🙈 I hope that after my baby shower (this Saturday) I will be able to focus more on nesting and just generally doing stuff for home.

Answer

Same! Baby #2 due 4/21, and I’m forcing myself to wash clothes. We didn’t even bother doing the room yet since he/she will be in with us for at least 4/5 months (trying not to disturb our 2.5 y/o sleep). I will say, if you’re a first time parent, it may seem overwhelming and like you don’t have anything done, but they really don’t need much! Keep them fed, clean/dry, clothed and loved and you’ve got it :) the rest is just “stuff”.

Answer

Was able to get all the baby stuff ready but not up to the cleaning much...luckily enough I got a cleaning lady hired for the next few months!

Answer

I'm due the same day and could not agree more with you about everything. No nesting here, just forcing myself to organize when I have a little energy.

Answer

We’re still moving. I’m still working and trying to finish the month of March. I’ve moved all of the baby stuff to the other house but then we have our stuff and I’m just so tired. If I wasn’t pregnant I would be doing more but I feel so useless because it’s hard to walk and bend over so I can’t help. I hope baby stays until I’m finished.

Answer

I'm due April 8th and being induced the weekend of April 1st because of gestational diabetes. have not had this feeling at all! hoping it will come after we get our bigger stuff set up this week in the nursery.
