Im only 23 weeks pregnant and already nesting...cleaning everywhere and actually enjoying it. Is this normal or a sign of early labour. I went 35weeks with first. Bit concerned!! :)

No kidding, I did the day before I went into labor and so did my husband. It was wierd. It was a sunday and he cleaned out our car inside and out and put the carseat in the car. I was about 38 1/2 weeks along. I got out all the baby stuff like the clothes, lotions, soaps, blankets, everything. It was kinda last minute but I figured I had about another week. I just felt the urge to get it all done that day. well, 4am my water broke. :) I had her at 2:08pm:) At least everything got done.:)

Well, I LITERALLY worked through my whole pregnancy (my water broke 3 hours before the end of my last shift). I've always kept the house pretty clean and organized and I had no urge to do anything extra until about a week before she was born (which was 9 days early) so I sat in the car with Armoral wipes and scrubbed down the interior which I rarely do...and it wasn't just an urge, it was an all out panic attack! I ran through Zellers that same day making sure I had all the little things too ie. thermometer, nasal aspirator, etc. etc. and blew about $200.

I had a nesting urge for about 2 weeks - a month before I went into labor. Then on the day my water broke - I got home from work and started cleaning like a mad woman and my water broke 30 minutes later!

I had a nesting urge the same day by daughter was born. I cleaned the house from top to bottom and the minute I sat down to rest, my water broke! She was born 5 hours later.

I nested about a week before my son was born, he was born exactly on his due date.

i didnt nest with my 1st but i had a broken leg and was immobile!

with my second i was nesting at 36 weeks and thought nothing of it just thought i had extra energy then went into labour right on 37 weeks and had him that day! i am going to pay more attention to my cleaning rythms with this baby!

I never really nested. Early on in my second trimester I had the urge to decorate the house becuase I was full of energy that I hadn't had in a while. I had my daughter 2 days before her due date.

I didn't nest but I wish I did! I didn't have the energy to clean my house, even vacuuming my house took 2 days (one day downstairs, one day upstairs) i worked all through my pregnancy and left 3 weeks before my due date but bubs came 2.5 weeks early so only ended up having 4 days off work!

I started nesting about 3 days before Addilynn was born :)

I didn't nest, the closest I came was in the second trimester when I had energy. I gave birth at 42 weeks exactly.

I started nesting at about 7 months, and I started my first contractions and went into labor 9 days before my daughter was born, which was almost 2 weeks after my due date.

i worked my entire pregnancy (I went on mat leave 3 weeks before my due date), and i started nesting about a week after sitting home during the day with not much else to do. then i went into labour a couple days later. my beautiful baby girl was born a week and a half early.

I did not have a nesting urge, the only time I had something like a nesting urge was when I was angry at my husband I cleaned my home from top to bottom haa. also I only went into labor when I was induced 10 days after my due date.
