I'm 31 weeks and haven't gotten that burst of energy and overwhelming urge to clean...AND I DESPERATELY NEED IT!!! This place is a mess and I would love to clean and disinfect it but I have absolutely no energy. I am drained everyday from doing absolutely nothing at all.
At what week did you get your Nesting Surge and how long did it last?
Re: Nesting Surge...what week did you get it?
I starrted mopping the floor when I was in labor.
But before that the nesting was really on and off. I'd be like 'GOTTTA CLEAN EVERYTHING!!' then a week later 'ehhh, i'd rather sleep.'
Good luck:)
It comes and goes for me this pregnancy..
.but with my 1st pregnancy it never showed up. Lol
Lately its been every couple of days. Seems like I do tons one day, get very worn out and can't do anything for a couple days, then get back at it.
i have been nesting like a crazy person for at least a month. some days are much worse than others. today i washed all of the removable vacuum pieces/filters. (they are meant to be washed, but still)
some days i can't be bothered, but usually i'm sort of scurrying from one project to another (like rearranging my hospital bag, or lint rolling dog hair off of the couch)
This. Blargh. I'm just plugging along trying to get the house presentable while still being inundated with last minute baby-related orders arriving from Amazon. I wish I was having those meth-esque cleaning frenzies other ladies talk about.

This is me too. I'm 39 weeks and today is a GOTTA CLEAN EVERYTHING day! But tomorrow will probably be a "My back/feet/ribs/crotch hurt too bad to do anything" day. It comes and goes.
I've been nesting for the past month and a half, but I can only work on it on the weekends. The nursery is almost done. I have the changing fully stocked with diapers, bath supplies, etc. The clothes have been washed and put away. The bookshelf is fully stocked, as are all the toy bins. The car has organizers in the trunk filled with anything we could possibly need in a pinch-diapers, wipes, first aid kit, etc. I even have about 7 different snacks and drinks in the car for when we get hungry on our way to baby classes. The diaper bags are packed. The hospital bag is getting packed tonight, just to have it done. I went grocery shopping today for the first time in forever (we usually get dinner each night) and stocked the fridge/pantry. I've started to get obsessive about the laundry-there is a load constantly going as I'm finding the stupidest things to wash now. Last weekend, I spent 1.5 hours cleaning out the cabinet behind the bathroom mirror and organizing all my make-up.
I will say this-I am NOT in to deep cleaning. Most of this organizing, shopping for supplies, etc. Dh has been really, really great about keeping the dishes washed, vacuuming, wiping down the bathroom, etc. I'm not about to get down on my knees and clean the corners at this point, regardless of my urges!

Had a bit in the first trimester and in the second but nothing like now! At the start of my 3rd trimester, 28 weeks it was on! Still nesting daily! I get tired late afternoon/early evening and lay down for a little rest but other than that I am in cleaning mode most of the day! It is even hard for me to resist the urge to get up while I am resting but I make myself because I know I need to.
