Getting Prepared for Baby's Arrival
Signs That You're Nesting
Nesting is a funny instinct that kicks in during the final weeks or days of pregnancy. You get a sudden "wild" desire to get everything ready for your baby's arrival. This urge is said to be both biological and emotional. It's so natural that even animals in nature get their "nests" and dens ready for their new baby. Find out how you know when nesting has begun.
- Unusual Burst of Energy - Most pregnant women are waddling along slowly at 8 or 9 months, but if you suddenly get a huge burst of get-up-and-go, then it's a sign that you're nesting.
- Desire to Clean, Clean and Clean - If you suddenly start cleaning everything, getting organized and doing some major decorating then you are probably in the nesting phase.
- Shopping Galore - If you find yourself spending extremely long hours in the mall looking for all the extra baby items you need then you could be nesting.
- You Become an Organizing Guru - When you start organizing your baby's nursery from top to bottom then nesting has set in.
- Obsessive Tendencies - If you find that you're becoming obsessed with cleaning and your partner's cleaning and everyone else's cleaning then you're in nesting mode.
- You're at 40 Weeks - If you've reached 40 weeks into your pregnancy and suffer from any of the above crazy cleaning, organizing and shopping urges then you're most likely nesting.
- Get It Done - If you have the urge to make sure that EVERYTHING is done, then nesting is surely happening.
- Friends are Teasing You - If your friends begin to make fun of you because you're acting quite anal and wanting to get everything ready, then you're absolutely nesting!
