'Nesting'

I woke up this morning at 6.30 and from 6.45am I had this burst of energy and sudden urge to clean everything in sight, even down to skirting boards, washed the doors, kitchen cupboards, pulled everything off the sides, bleached both bathrooms and floors. Literally cleaned my whole house within a few hours. I am now suffering with a terrible back ache, I definitely over did it lol. My question is, is labour nearing when you nest? Or have I just had this surge or energy lol and nothing will happen for a while 🤣. I am 38+4 and getting impatient 🥲

I've been nesting for the last two weeks and I'm 36+6 I think it's just a weird thing that kicks in last trimester. Last 3 days I've stopped nesting and essentially ended up on accidental bed rest with no energy so who knows anymore lol

@Holley owwww, I really thought it could be a sign 😂 Ive had no energy for weeks and tired, irritated ect and then had some mad rush to get things done..how disappointing 😆

The energy burst can sometimes mean Labour is imminent! Exciting!!! X

Hopefully it is a sign, I could do with some motivation to actually deep clean my bathroom like I planned this week and could do with an energy surge lol

@Kelly oh I really hope so!! 🙏🏼 X

@Holley oh I hope so! lol I needed motivation for weeks I have no idea what happened this morning just woke up and instantly felt the need to clean everything lol, pray for me 🤣🙏🏼

After attending parent ed classes I learned that this actually is a sign that labour is near. It's a very mammalian instinct to make the environment safe and clean for baby's impending arrival, not only humans do it but many species in the animal kingdom too x

Never got this with my first 😂 I was too exhausted even to the end. Labour was spontaneous with no signs.

@Chloe I've had 2 children and never got this with either of them lol. So this was a surprise to me especially with how I've had little to no energy and been doing absolutely nothing for the last few weeks 😂 and at 6.45am id barely opened my eyes look. That's why I wondered if it could be a sign but not looking likely 🥲🥲

@India that's interesting to know! Hopefully a few days then lol x
