x-Anti-Nesting-x

[LilDreamy]

I keep hearing about all of you lovely ladies hitting a nesting phase... and I keep wondering when the heck I'm gonna hit it.

It seems that I am the complete opposite!

When I wake up on the weekend... it literally takes me all day to get up and do something. Yesterday I stayed in bed until 1 P.M. and today... a barely got up by 1 P.M.

I keep thinking of all the things I need to do... and it wears me out thinking about it. So I just lay there, watching the old version of the Little Rascals all day.

Maybe it's because I'm still working 6 A.M. to 5 P.M. everyday, and in the process of moving into my new house.

My landlady keeps coming over and stays for 5 hours trying to help me put up cute curtains... who knew curtains could take soo long! I feel bad if I sit down while she is working... so I stay on my feet all day, and end up not being able to walk because they are so swole.

I hate more than anything right now when it comes to house work, cleaning, my job... anything that requires me to move.

Is anyone else in the same boat? The complete opposite of nesting is happening to me... I don't want to do anything! Not even think... because then I stress out.

Same here, I havent even felt a tiny urge to nest. My house is an actual tip due to lack of motivation. Luckly i have a mum who loves to clean and when i buy her lunch she cleans my house. How lazy am i? However, with a broken coxxyx and severe pelvic pain it is near impossible to reach the floor haha!

Im just going to face it, even in pregnancy, i shall always be a messy person...!

I know exactly how you feel - I've been thinking the same thing! I've been hoping to get the nesting to hit so I can get some energy to do something! I keep thinking of everything I need to do too and it's worrisome that it won't be done in time for the baby!

I was like this too until today when I heard from my midwife to say she will be over tomorrow to give me a sweep *ALARM STARTS RINGING* ... omg she will see the state of my house!!
Suddenly I got up the energy and motivation to do some cleaning
Just need to keep on top of it now for the rest of the week then it won't be so bad when LO is here.

i did let my house get really messy and dusty, then thursday night we had a gueat over to sleep and i spent hourssss sorting out all the mess and it felt so good seeing the place nice that i've kinda improved now.. Also i can see the light at the end of the tunnel with the nursery now thank god so that is inspiring me a bit. I think taking iron tablets has helped.

My nesting instinct kicked in at 30 weeks and for 4 weeks i decorated,tidyed,washed baby clothes basically gave every room a spring clean. Then I hit 34 weeks and my energy completely got zapped out of me and now its non exsistent. Think the fact that dd started fulltime at school so early morning starts and constantly waking in the night doesn't help.

My brain seems to be nesting making lists of whats left to do but my body is having non of it! x

My DH came home from work at 11.00 pm the other night to find me cleaning the kitchen and dusting downstairs and asked if I was nesting - I just laughed and told him it was a bit early yet! Actually I just felt guilty that he'd been at work for about 14 hours and I hadn't done anything around the house all day! I have pregnancy related Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and SPD so at the moment everything just feels like such an effort though and involves a sit down afterwards! Hopefully nesting will kick in at some point though.

NO nesting here!! I literally have to sleep all day, im so tired ALL the time!! I do make the effert, however, to do a little bit of housework during the day, but nothing that could be classed as nesting!!

i go through spurts- but all i get done is something stupid- like the dishwasher buttons had grime around them and i had to get out q-tips and clean around them but still have a sink full of dishes! hahaha I am sure its nesting but DH wishes the nesting extended to cleaning the whole house not just little buttons on the dishwasher

 

[pinktaffy]

i never did hit the nesting faze hehe. i did after she was born though butsore firest few days and kept hurting myself im a nutter haha.
but dont feel bad i never had the energy while i was pregnant to feel in a nesting mood.

 

[sherple]

ive been waiting for this for ages now, dont think its going to happen though. Ive barely got the energy to make it to the loo for the millionth time never mind clean the house. Then my poor dh comes home from work and starts doing the dishwasher ans i feel so guilty as ive sat on my arse all day doing nowt!

I never got the nesting thing with DS. I have this time though, started last wednesday when I woke up at 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep so I came down had a drink and got the urge to start tidying out drawers and cupboards also did all the polishing and got a load of washing in the machine which I started as DH got up and I went back to bed at 6am. Managed to squeeze in an hours slepp before DS woke up
