Nesting Maniac

“Nesting” is the term used to refer to when women begin cleaning, organizing and generally getting ready for the impending birth of their child. Of course, the term comes from the practice that birds take part in while literally getting their nest ready for their little hatchlings. One old wives’ tale claims that nesting is a sign that the baby is about to arrive very soon.
While it’s definitely true that some moms feel the need to vigorously clean right before the birth of their child, others start nesting super early in their pregnancy and not just right before the baby is born. This tale is probably be more about personal preference than anything else.
