Do all pregnant women "nest?"?

Asked by ubersiren (15208points) August 4th, 2009

In case you’re not familiar, nesting is basically the strong urge to clean or generally fix up your home for the coming baby. I’ve heard of women going so far as removing the screws from fixtures and polishing them.

Last pregnancy I did not nest at all. I think it was partly because the baby’s room was occupied by my husband’s douche bag friend until 3 weeks before the baby arrived. By the time he moved out, I was too tired to do anything.

I’m already itching to do some stuff, but I’m too nauseated to execute it right now. I’m worried that this feeling will go away, or that I’m just not a nester in general.

Do you nest with every baby? Does everyone nest? Does it mean something if I don’t?
