“I kind of took on more of a supervisory role, kind of telling people where I wanted things and what I wanted to do with things.”

“It is the year of women supporting women and I think we’re all looking for ways to help our friends. And the nesting party is a great and easy way to know how to do that,” Nia said.
“That’s what women have been doing for years and years. And it’s almost what is expected. I don’t know if a lot of people know that there are alternatives that exist. But I think knowing the alternatives may change the way that we go about helping expectant mothers prepare for motherhood.”
“You would be surprised at how willing and ready people are to help you. We all love to serve each other, but sometimes we aren’t sure how to do so. So reach out when you need help, don’t be too proud,” the mom urged.
“It has made a world of difference not only physically, but with my mental health as well. Everyone needs support.”
The mom later answered more questions about nesting parties in a follow-up video
Mom Nia and her husband were expecting their third child when she filmed the video. It seems like in the few days since then, she has already given birth. Congratulations to the family!
During the party, Nia’s friends cleaned her home and brought her freezer meals. This was the practical and wholesome help that the mom needed, instead of being at the center of attention and forced to play random games—something she dislikes.
Naturally, expectant parents should pick the option that appeals to them the most. It’s important to be honest with yourself what kind of support and activities you actually want—not just what you think your family and friends will value the most.
The mom-to-be shouldn’t be doing any chores on the day of the party. However, she can take the time to organize things. She can make a list of guests and prepare a list of tasks before everyone arrives. She can then delegate these tasks and manage everyone on the day-of, or she can ask a friend to take over that role.
