I would definitely avoid having professional cleaners unless you can control what products they are using. Those cleaning products are probably more harmful to the newborn than dirt. General dirtiness may actually help baby's immune system. I get the nesting. I was scrubbing grout at 36 weeks pregnant. But just let it go.

I’m having my third and I’ve never done this. I always try to keep my house clean and organized, but I don’t go crazy prior to the birth of a child. Although I love an excuse to purge things and organize.

I saw this online that a house should be deep cleaned before a baby, not something I imagined myself.
Don't believe everything you read online. Try to think through the reasons for and against it and come to your own conclusions.
Do professionals clean more thoroughly than I do? Sure.
But can I also effectively vacuum and get rid of some dust and crumbs?
Also yes.
And can a baby be perfectly healthy in a house that is a little messy and dusty?
I mean, the human race would not have survived if a perfect home was a requirement!

Also, we all know that a home that is too clean can actually cause harm. Don't be afraid of a little bit of dirt! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/keeping-too-clean-a-house-may-raise-kids-risk-asthma-allergies/

The baby was coming out of the NICU and going home before me. I pointed at letters on an alphabet board to spell D U S T, to be sure my family had cleaned the nursery. My mom assured me that she had gone to the house and cleaned the nursery herself!
Damn, girl. Hope you and your child are doing well.
