Hop aboard the good ship JS Grads for it's sweet 16th pregnancy party. Don your party hats, grab a bouncy ball and quaff copious amounts of raspberry leaf to celebrate our coming of age!

[Minion]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 16th grads thread... celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 33rd outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread in postnatal clubs here for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates! It's a bit quiet at the moment, but with all these upduffed viroids hopefully it won't be for long!

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

So, roll call below please, viroids!

I feel sick.

[mountaingirl01]

I'm bleeding

[Leela5]

mountain ok first and foremost get yourself sat down somewhere and take a deep breath. Bleeding can happen and can be absolutely fine. Now - is it red or brown and do you have any cramps?

If no cramps it could be breakthrough/implantation bleed as you're still early.

Do you have number for EPU?

[mountaingirl01]

I had this sudden sharp pain, but I thought it was that I needed a wee and hadn't got up. So went to loo and it's brown and a bit pink. Dull aching and cramping. I don't know what to do I just can't bear this again

[mountaingirl01]

No point going to epu even if they canned they wouldn't see anything :(

[Leela5]

Brown is good, brown is old blood. Pains also quite normal, I'm getting them too. You need to call EPU, I know it's scary and I'm sure it's not, but you will need to be checked to make sure it's not ectopic. Do you have any shoulder tip pain?

If you go in they will scan you and check everything is fine. We will be here for you xxx

[Leela5]

I know how scared you are right now, I'm sending you a big hug. You will be ok I promise, but please call them.

[mountaingirl01]

Thank you la I really needed that hug. I'm in clinic at the moment and have pts booked in all morning. If anything gets worse or I'm still bleeding after my last pt at 12 I will head down the corridor. I have no ectopic pain but I'm pretty sure this is the end :(

[Leela5]

Try as hard as you can to stay positive. Remember chat bled and it was fine.

[Leela5]

PS forgot you were a doctor - sorry for pestering you to call EPU!

[RPopz]

Oh mountain I don't remember how far along you are, I'm sorry, but bleeding happens as you know. Everything crossed for you and bean. Hugs xxx

[ChatEnOeuf]

Exciting shiny new Fred!

Chat, 32
DD age 3 and indestructabean, due 23rd June, currently (apparently) the size of a kumquat. Or, in the JS Grads guide to foetus sizing, about as big as a ping pong ball

[Pisghetti]

Mountain hope you get seen today. Brown is good x

DC: Kevin the teenager and an ear of corn (aka footlong sub)

[RPopz]

A kumquat? How v exotic

Rpopz: 28
34+2 with DC one. Lost all track of fruit based comparisons!!

[Minion]

mountain brown is old blood as la has said your little bean mayave dislodged left over stuff from period or something. Please don't panic, we are all here sending virtual hugs xxx

[ChatEnOeuf]

Shit, sorry, crosspost. That'll teach me to start typing and finish after the school run. Mountain please don't panic - and I know how easy that is to say and how impossible it is to do. Focus on the clinic, get through it and re-evaluate at lunchtime. You know that bleeding isn't always the end. I know the feeling re: early scans - since my mcs I've been much more skeptical about them, especially before the 8-9w mark. But at 6+ (yes?) you should be able to see a HB, even if they have to use dildocam. See how you go.

Mountain - all gingers crossed for you and thinking of you. Chances are all is well, but I know how I'd feel, so big hugs to you.

[Nessalina]

Mountain, how scary!
It does sound like it could just be spotting though, so don't panic just yet... Has it stopped?
I had a big red bleed at 8 weeks that scared the crap out of me, but all was fine, I hope that's the case here!

mountain gx all ok for you. So scary, but as others have said already and as you already know, bleeding doesn't automatically mean bad news. Will be thinking of you today. Big hugs x

Good luck for your appointment could
