My partner has gone crazy he's gone out and bought a steamer to steam clean everything he's doing the house top to bottom and keeps checking the nursery for any dust bless him lol. He's even polishing now and he's even packed my hospital bag and the baby's before iv had chance lol! I'm not complaining of course, he's been at it all day.

I didn't think men got the urge to nest! I haven't had my nesting urge yet at 37 weeks so maybe he's just having it for me Grin Any one else's oh been like this?

That's lovely for you but my DH has never nested with either of ours. I'm preg again 28 weeks might see if I can shame him into nesting with your post while I pop my feet up with a cuppa Grin

There was a poster recently whose partner went absolutely berserk nesting (with the help of his mother) and OP was frankly sick of it. I think the consensus was that she should lock herself in the bedroom and leave them to it because he was fulfilling a psychological need.

Mine doesn't really nest but he does go out and fetch pizza and all kinds of things for me Grin He's a keeper that's for sure.
