Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 46th 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 45th grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 59th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread HERE
for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates!

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!

HERE is the stats list, please update your own spot with any updates. I really hope that worked!

Huzzah!

Fecking DS woke up at 4am, DH got him straight back to sleep no worries, but there's zero chance in hell that I'll go back down too now

DH &I were also discussing how it's going to be weird to discard one of the names we've grown to love over the last few months. This bump is known as boy name/girl name, it's going to be sad to throw one of those names away!

Hope everyone got better sleep than me Smile
See you all later I guess

Right there with you .... Been awake for an hour. I think we're going to give up and just call baby bean as that's what he's been known as for the last 9 months

Ta for the new Fred!

Thanks Thurs! 10/10 for new Fred Grin

sky I'm sure I've read that only ~10% of births start with waters breaking, so in theory it's not v likely it would happen to u when out n about... although there is of course the LOS to counter that!

Watched Philomena last night - what a tear-fest! Blush

Haha Mermaid, after I made the Fred I picked up booked up and woke up at 8am with the light on, book next to me and DS hollering about Cheerios Smile

It's absolutely pissing down here. I hoped to just take DS to the park to wear him out for an hour, but it looks like I'm going to have to engage my brain a bit more than that. I seriously can't be fucked.

Looking forward to getting normal trapped wind, if any after this pregnancy where it seems to gets stuck in top of my bump and then wake the baby up as it slooooooooowly travels down

Thanks for the new thread Thurs.
Yay, it's March, my favourite month! Now to plan something of a special birthday with an 8 month baby bump.
Congrats on getting the all clear Yoga, must be such a relief.
Sky I have a couple of changing mats from the Nappy Lady that I'm planning to use over the top of the cheapo padded ones. They are thin but waterproof. She recommends the big ones for protecting your bed before waters break so maybe pop a small one in your bag in case you have to sit in a taxi.

Sky I carry a couple of maternity pads in my bag. I have an inco pad in the car. Of course, being this prepared means they won't break when I'm out! Obviously carrying your notes is important.

As for calling an ambulance if your waters break - no. It's not a medical emergency, in fact it doesn't even mean you are about to give birth. I would just go home and call the labour ward to let them know. Only exceptions would be if there is more than a show of blood (that is a 999 jobby), or if there is meconium staining (then I would call the labour ward straight away and take their advice).

Fanks for the spanking new Fred and excellent Fred filling Thursday! I wish now I had logged on last night. Had the pregsomnia from 3-5ish... part hunger from my 10 hour fast and part paranoia after experiencing a small leak last night. Leak was likely to have been wee escaping after a particularly hard punch to the bladder. Have been experiencing period like cramps off and on in no regular pattern and at about the same intensity since about 3am. Would love it if it was labour but suspect it is just punchy baby... will ask the sonographer how me cervix is looking. 99% sure today is the right scan day Grin

kate your dp sounds lovely. I am sure he has just said what most DPs think but are too chicken to admit like mine he will relax a bit when he can see and feel movements and you'll get used to it too Flowers

Finally unpacked the cot there... have been putting that off for a while. Just a Chicco Next2Me so not a lot of work, but still!

In-laws making their plans too, we have most of the weekends in April now booked up with visitors from Ireland, starting on the 9th. Really doesn't seem far off at all now!

At least you're seeing someone today sky, they'll be able to tell you! My experience so far this pregnancy is that I've had tonnes of niggles that tempt me into thinking it might be the start of things...but is actually just my aging body losing the will to carry on Grin

country have you got a dehumidifier? We had our kitchen &a barn plastered in the new year and that made the world of difference.

Things are deffo getting close - I just cried because a delivery I hoped would come this week won't be arriving til a week Saturday AND I just cleaned the bathroom including the grout. That just screams crazy nesting hormones to me.

Pains still happening quite steadily. Nothing that is interfering with my day but I am feeling crabby and tired. Might start noting them if they carry on after lunch.

gx for a sneaky queue jump sky! My body certainly feels aging, I'm quite looking forward to getting back to doing some fitness stuff in due course.

I just channeled my hormones to write a strongly worded email to the bed people who let me down.

I am feeling utterly miserable and I can't really figure out why. Still got a coughy/flemmy cold which wakes the sleeping bump. I woke up at 3 this morning and then fell back asleep on the sofa at 7:30 (I take DP to work at 8).
I have just seen my reflection on the telly whilst bouncing on the yoga ball - I really should be wearing a bra 😬
countrygirl I have also become a hungry beast! I figure if I eat a banana after half a pack of biscuits it cancels it out.....

I have been reading the March baby thread (babies being born!) but haven't said anything in a while as I know it'll be a massive moan and I don't want to be a Debbie downer!
