Is this true?

My grandma said that when you start cleaning your house nonstop and it still isn't good enough it means labor is near. i've been like this today :/

I'm usually pretty OCD about my house. But I have no energy at the moment. I hope nesting or some energy gets back in after my first trimester. My poor hubby has been picking up my slack. I feel like a bad wife.

I think I have been nesting for the last 8 years lol, I cant handle any type of mess ever, drives me insane. Even on bedrest I was a bad girl and cleaned.

I do remember last time I was pregnant I was bleaching the baseboards with a toothbrush a few days before I had the baby, maybe my cleaning just goes on over drive. I also would scrub the floor with bleach with my cinderella scrubber, which took forever since my kitchen is huge.

This pregnancy I felt like I was "nesting" at around 33 weeks when I was obsessivley packing the hospital bags, making lists for what my other kids needed, and of course for the new baby and my husband and I. I even made lists about what other lists I needed to make.

I've had bouts of it throughout my entire pregnancy so i don't think it's about to happen. I'm almost 35 weeks, and i could honestly care less at the moment if the Queen of England knocked on the door to messy house.
