Nesting??

I think you realise when it kicks. It just happens out of nowhere. I did not feel the instinct until I reached the 3rd trimester and one day I woke up wanting to change all floors and make lists for baby bag, nursery, hospital bag etc Nesting is something animals get, I guess it just translates into “getting ready” for the baby’s arrival. The difference is that nesting comes with a sense of urgency.

No with my first baby in the last few weeks I remember getting out of bed at 3am and emptying out the fridge and cleaning it out. I couldn't get back to sleep as I had it in my head it needed completing. Definitely not just the normal getting stuff ready 😂

I can see where you’re coming from but never have I scrubbed my cupboard doors so much as during that last week of mat leave 😭 I’m not a ‘house proud’ kind of person (much prefer just hanging out and living in a house that looks like ours) but it was definitely an urge I’ve never had before or since!
