"Nesting" or Just Rage-Cleaning? Take the Quiz

Organizing or slowly losing it? Let the quiz decide.

You’re in the second trimester and suddenly you’ve alphabetized your spice rack, colour-coded the baby clothes (even the ones you haven’t bought yet), and scrubbed the baseboards with a toothbrush at 2am.

Is this nesting? Is this panic? Is this rage-cleaning disguised as productivity? Or are you just channelling your inner home edit diva with a side of hormonal fury?

We don’t judge — we diagnose (playfully). So take this fabulously unscientific quiz and find out: are you nesting or losing it just a little bit? Either way, you deserve stretchy pants, snacks, and a round of applause.

“Some call it nesting. Others call it a nervous breakdown with throw pillows.”

Question 1: When you saw dust on the skirting boards, you…

  • A. Thought, “eh, baby won’t be crawling for months”
  • B. Wrote it on your to-do list under “deep clean: apocalypse edition”
  • C. Scrubbed it immediately. With vinegar. And a toothbrush.
  • D. Googled if skirting boards can be removed entirely to avoid future dusting

Question 2: Your nursery Pinterest board is…

  • A. A couple of inspo pics and ma ybe a llama-shaped mobile
  • B. Organised by colour, theme, mood, and budget tier
  • C. So detailed it has spreadsheets with SKU numbers
  • D. An emotional support folder you look at between sobs and Amazon sprees
Pinterest: where dreams go to become checklists.

Question 3: Your cleaning outfit of choice is…

  • A. Pyjamas, because let’s not overdo it
  • B. Old activewear that still kind of fits
  • C. Full glam with your Emamaco maternity leggings, of course
  • D. An apron, gloves, and your partner’s fear in their eyes

Question 4: Your partner finds you cleaning at 11:47 PM. You say…

  • A. “Can’t sleep. Figured I’d tidy.”
  • B. “The baby can’t come home to this chaos!”
  • C. “If I don’t bleach the fridge now I’ll implode.”
  • D. “DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING I JUST SANITISED.”
“Pregnancy insomnia + nesting instinct = 2AM grout scrubbing.”

Q uestion 5: Your dream Saturday looks like…

  • A. Brunch and naps
  • B. Rearranging the pantry for the fifth time
  • C. Deep-cleaning the baby bottles that haven’t arrived yet
  • D. Rage-purging every drawer in the house while crying to a Taylor Swift playlist

Mostly A’s? You’re cruising

You’ve got the nesting gene on chill. You’re probably scrolling maternity memes in your Emamaco leggings with one hand and eating peanut butter out of the jar with the other. Iconic.

Mostly B’s? Nesting mode: activated

You’re in full prep mode and we love that for you. Everything’s labelled. The baby clothes are folded by size and emotional value. You’ve got spreadsheets for spreadsheets. You’re nesting, babe — own it.

Mostly C’s? Professional nester

ere between DIY nursery projects and sanitising light switches, you’ve achieved nesting nirvana. Channel that energy, but don’t forget to nap — even superheroes need rest. Preferably in Emamaco comfort.

Mostly D’s? Nesting? Maybe. Breakdown? Also maybe.

Take a breath, beauty. Step away from the bleach. You are not the chaos. You are a glowing, growing goddess who deserves support. Put down the label maker. Pick up some water. And maybe call a friend to come sit on the floor while you fold onesies and cry a bit.


✨ Nesting hard? Or just doing your best? Either way — make sure you’re dressed for comfort and control. Emamaco maternity leggings and shorts will see you through nursery prep, meltdown mop-ups, and everything in between.

Scrub smart, organise fabulously, and for the love of snacks — nap sometimes 💅
