No research has linked partners to nesting, but anecdotally, many seem to get swept up in preparations. Your partner won't have the biological instinct to nest, but they make take part. You may find yourself deep-cleaning the nursery, setting up baby gear (or project managing your partner's crib-building), or doing loads of laundry and reorganizing drawers of baby clothes for the third time in a week.ĭon't spend time worrying about why you may or may not be nesting – there's plenty of other things to do on your third trimester checklist! Will my partner nest too? How you "nest" may be different than other moms-to-be, but nesting typically involves making physical preparations for parenthood. The perceived connection that nesting is a sign of labor usually has more to do with individual psychology: The burst of energy and activity toward the end happens because you're trying to get everything ready before the baby comes, not because it's a signal that labor is going to start. (These early signs of labor are better indicators that you might be having your baby soon.) There's no good or medically-backed evidence that proves nesting is directly linked to labor, especially because some moms-to-be do start nesting months before their due date. Because these bursts of energy tend to happen late in pregnancy, many women believe nesting is a sign of labor. Nesting can start as early as when you're around 24 weeks pregnant, but it usually peaks in the third trimester – a few weeks prior to your baby's arrival.
