Nesting and other signs of impending labour??

39+2 today and had an extreme burst of cleaning energy yesterday (I do not like cleaning and am pretty messy!). Cleaned floors, skirting boards, doors and door frames, amongst other household stuff. Didn't have any nesting with dd1. Also bounced on my ball for an hour which felt much like a compulsion rather than a choice! Just wondering what others experiences were, and whether nesting was a sign of imminent labour for anyone? I know no one can say whether it's a sign for me 😊 but in that final stretch and when labour will start is all I can think about at the moment!

I got excited about this too at 39 weeks but here I am 40+4 the cleaning is done but no baby. I mostly feel lethargic now 🙈

I had the nesting urge at 36-37 weeks. Then got over that. The last week before I went into labour (40 + 1) all I wanted to do was put my feet up and watch Netflix or read.

Hope you're not waiting too long!

I had a sudden urge to wash all the small size clothes, muslins and blankets at 36+1 and then my waters went the next day! I’d also been on a cleaning spree the week before
