When pregnant with my first son, my doctor told my husband that one of the first "warning" signs of oncoming labor was that I'd suddenly start cleaning house, that nesting instinct. My husband quipped back that I'm constantly cleaning (I have OCD), so he was not sure he'd be able to tell the difference.
The morning that labor did start, I was busily padding about the house, at around 5:30 a.m. - which is not that unusual for me - but complaining that I didn't feel very well. My husband kept calling the doctor every half hour or so, but I refused to go to hospital until I felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat. Yep, it was labor alright; and, 20 hours later, we had a son.
As far as pairing with a clutterbug, I am married to one. It has taken nearly 30 years for him to win his battle against my OCD; frankly, I've given up and am too tired to keep up with my own compulsions. Another pregnancy, though, is out of the question, LOL!
