I had a monumental event that was not nesting... I had been having a lot of discomfort for a long time and could barely walk to the kitchen without contactions... I had this incredible urge to walk. so I walked the distance around an entire golf course. that night my water broke.

lol.....

Rosa you crack me up!  You should have raped him!  Said this will make you not feel full!!!!  LMAO

Anywho-  Well, lot's of cramping is a good sign.  Go on a long long long walk, maybe that'll help...  I am having to run to the hospital.  My son got worse over night, and my hubby for some reason rather stay home, since I may end up hospitalized from this anyways, he wants me to go, what a butt head!  So if anything happens......Send me a message!!!   AHAHA...

I only had nesting with my first daughter and quite frankly, I was already in labor, but didn't know it.  It was the day before my due date and I had been out with DH during the day running errands and kept having pains every 20 minutes or so.  Later in the evening, I decided to go shopping, because I was bored.  While I was there, I ran into someone I knew and they had asked when I was going to have the baby.  I distinctly remember saying that based on how I felt that day, it must be coming tonight.  Since you have so many aches and pains at the end, I didn't know what was "real" and what wasn't.

I came home with bags of sheets, towels and other unneeded items - - stuff I would never buy "just because".  I walked in the door, threw the bag on the floor in the corner and tried going to bed.  Never did fall asleep due to the pains, so I got up and stayed up all night, having pains about 7-8 minutes apart.  Around 5:00 am, I finally woke up DH and told him to take me to the hospital, and sure enough, I was 5 cm.... :)

So for me, I nested while I was in the early stages of labor...

when I went into labor, my water had broke and the contractions felt like pretty much someone stabbing me, but mine were more on the sides into my back....if that makes sense.  but you know maybe just talking about jumping your man is making baby eager to come out?  hehe keep me posted lady!
