Energy before birth

This is my 4th pregnancy my last two were premature. I am now almost 35 weeks so I'm holding on pretty good. They say you get that burst of energy right before labor. I didn't get that with my last two but they were both born at 32 weeks. I guess my question is "Is it a fact or a myth?"  I am so exhausted and waiting for my arrival of my little girl. Bed rest is terrible been since 28 weeks.

Lol I have an urge to get something done all the time. Bed rest with 3 kids under age 5 is not so easy. My husband picks up but doesn't clean clean things like I would, it's so hard. Soon my day will be here I know I just gotta be patient.

With me, it wasn't so much a burst of energy as it was an urge to get something done. I just suddenly wanted to get my baby clothes washed and do my 'tailor' sitting while watching t.v. on the floor. My husband mentioned something about my behavior but I didn't think anything of it. I woke up in labor the following morning! So I guess the 'burst' or 'urge' is true ... it's just alittle different for each woman. Congratulations on your pregnancy! God bless and take care sweetheart!  Slenderthread...
