Nesting?

[Noodlejuice]

I can't stop cleaning and rearranging my house...has anyone else gone batshit crazy about cleanliness?

I keep moving the furniture around, vacuuming everything every day (skirting boards, light switches, the fire surround...the cat has escaped for now), I keep cleaning mirrors and windows that don't really need cleaning just so I know they're clean, repeatedly disinfecting worksurfaces....and all this while I'm knackered and know I should really sit down with a biscuit

If I was a wild animal I think I'd probably be collecting twigs roundabout now...who else has developed OCD as they get on in pregnancy?

I pulled all my furniture out the other day and hoovered behind everything, then got on my hands and knees and bleached the kitchen and utility room tiles, the last few days ive been distracted with other things but as soon as I can muster up some energy I can see smears all over my windows so im going to clean them inside and out!

I wish I was like this ... So badly need to tidy up but can't be bothered!

 

[RileysMummy]

^ this.


And I feel quite guilty about it, cos the OH does everything. I dont even need to ask him he just does it. He's on the step ladder even doing the tops of the kitchen shelves and I sit doing nowt...

yup, I've definately got this.. in a bad way!!.. last week I decided to rearrange the furniture in my bedroom, to make space for the moses basket.. but instead of just moving things around.. I took everything out of the room.. hoovered the floor.. then the mattress washed all the bedding, cleared out the wardrobe and gave loads of clothes to charity.. I even hoovered the back of the radiators... when I'd done my room, I started on the baby's room.. today its the living room.. I do the kitchen everyday.. and the bathroom every other day..

If i go in the bathroom and find hair anywhere I go mental, I shouted at my OH and started crying on Friday night because he got hair in the sink when he washed his gel out.. I was a MAD woman!!

I just hope I carry on doing it after LO is born.. otherwise I'll end up depressed!

This sounds so so familiar! In bed last night with OH, at around 11pm...whispering so as not to wake the older kids up..."I think we should replace these wardrobes as they're too big, then we can move the room round, the bed can go over there...we can put anything we don't use in the loft and give stuff to charity..." I went to sleep thinking about a lovely organised bedroom

And yesterday morning I cleaned the bathroom before OH has his shower. I came out and threatened him about "if you even think about making a mess in there..."

Right now I'm obsessing over washing the sofa covers. I know it's a bad idea - I can't hang the covers outside afterwards as it'll inevitably rain, and there's already stuff that can't be tumble-dried hanging round the house...I don't have room...but I REALLY want to wash them!

I begin to worry myself...

 

[Pixxie]

I'm not quite there yet but I feel it brewing... anything I see dirty or out of place REALLY gets on my nerves xx

omg i have been like this for a few weeks now, every saturday, when the hubby is off we move rooms around and do big clear outs lol, he now exspects it...

we moved our living room around and i even sent him out with £100 to buy a wall bracket, cos i had a paddy about our big tv not being on the wall, and trust me it neeeeeeeds to be for when baby comes lol..

lol I am the same my hubby said I have ocd when he caught me cleaning a light switch in my pjs at midnight. I have a mad thing about the windows at the moment, we get condensation and I can't stand the wet windows and have to keep cleaning the black sealent around each window. I have done the fridge and the freezer, painted the downstairs loo, raked leaves in the garden in the last week. On my list in the next week I have - sort my youngest son's room, to get rid of toys that he has outgrown before his birthday, help hubby paint kitchen, get hubby to pull out sofas so I can hoover behind them, do windows again (cos it just has to be done again!), and do a thorough clean in bathroom even though it looks clean enough, and sort cupboards.

I wish the rest of the family would nest too! As they keep messing up what I clean and tidy grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. lol

hehe.. just make sure you get someone to help you move things, I really hurt my back moving all that heavy stuff on my own.... But atleast now I have a nice tidy house .. the way I want it

I have been like this for a couple of weeks!

I've so far

- completely gutted and cleaned my kitchen
- cleaned out DS's room and moved it around
- gutted and cleaned the playroom so that its all ready for the stuff DS gets for birthday and christmas
- gutted the spare room of all the crap so that its ready to be decorated as the nursery
- bought new drawer units to put inside our wardrobe (needless to say I built them up and just got DH to put them inside the wardrobe) This also meant a clear out of my clothes so that anything I have not worn in the past 18 mths gets put to the charity shop.

We've just had our bathroom done so its looking lovely and new and shiny - its a joy to clean (which I do on a regular basis of course!)

Think thats it but will no doubt add to the list as the weeks go by. In a bit of a panic now as want everything done by christmas when I'll be 36 weeks - thats just over 5 weeks away and feel there is still sooooo much to do!!

I was like this a few weeks ago now i cnt walk or move lol im still in my pyjamas xxx

Ive had OCD for about 5 yrs and i always have to have everything clean but apparently its got worse and everyone always says its nesting now, it actually annoys me i cant do anything without.. 'nesting;

 

[Penfelyn]

I've had waaay too much time off. So far I've...

- Repainted the kitchen and cleaned and organised all the cupboards
- Decorated the nursery
- Redecorated the bathroom
- Reorganised our bedroom - resulted in 5 bin bags of clothes we no longer wear being taken to the skip!
- Deep cleaned the whole house

I've got one day left until LO comes (c-section), so now I'm just re-cleaning all the rooms and organising stuff - repacking hospital bags and washing bedding etc. Obsessive!

 

[Reds05]

Wow!! I thought I was bad - you are waaaayyyy too organised.

Good luck with your c-section!
