Shagged Out Viroids 6th Thread! From Early Days to Ready To Pop - Proof that JSing really does work!

[WingDefence]

Hello and welcome to another shiny fred for Just Shagging graduates!

The last fred was nice and busy so fingers crossed we get lots more members

We've just moved over from the Shagged Out Viroids Volume 5 thread, where we finally found out that 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.

Our stats thread is here, so if you find us, please add your stats too.

There is also a Just Mumming thread for grads of the grads thread

And if you want to find out what Just Shagging is about or catch up with the undergrads go say hello to the Just Shaggers here, now on the 12th thread

Congratulations, teddy :-)

YAY Tired!!!
Many, many congratulations!!

With much and and a few to keep your strength up!

Congratulations Teddy and a lovely name. Hope all went smoothly and that you are all well.

Thats such lovely news!!!
Hello to Fern and congrats teddy for bringing her out safely...
Hope you can relax and recover now

And when you're up to it (and assuming you are ok with it) how about a photo!!!!

Congrats Tired! Welcome Fern . Such lovely news!!

Congrata! In theory i should be next!

Stabbing pain in fanjo. Ow

Seriously I'm on the postnatal ward and there is not a sound quiet and dark. I'm snuggling my baby, she doesn't like her goldfish bowl bed. Exhausted but oh so happy.

Well done Tired.

I leave the thread for a weekend to catch up on chores and one of us has a baby! MASSIVELY HUGE congratulations Tired. Glad you're enjoying your baby girl snuggles.

My best friend is having her baby today and I'm sat by my phone waiting for news!

Hope everyone who has been feeling rubbish is feeling better (sorry, skim read the thread as wanted to find out about babyTired )

Been super busy decorating and cleaning this weekend but did manage to get to homebirth support group and it was lovely to be focusing on 'pregnant me' rather than 'mummy me'.

We have snow here so I'm currently sat at the computer watching the snow flakes fall onto my white garden, it's lovely.

HUGE enormous congratulations to you teddy and a warm welcome to baby Fern

Hope all is ok with you something

Feeling v v jealous of those with snow....

Morning all :) We have lovely snow here too but it's not forecast to last :( For those of you not on FB, I'll put a photo of DS running to preschool on my profile pics.

waves how did it go with your OH?

Guinea a homebirth support group sounds interesting. I'm still seriously considering one but haven't really done much research about it. I have my 28wk MW appt this Thursday so will try to find out more there.

Okay, photo upload FAIL! Can't get it to work, probably because it's too big or summat and I can't be bothered to try to do the fiddly reducing thing. You'll just have to look on FB instead

Oooh a baby!! :o HUGE congrats tired, hope you and baby Fern are snuggled up warm at home by now!

:o

Congrats tired brilliant news and good luck something

The HB support group is really good Wing. I love the idea of having my baby at home and DCs being able to come in and see her straight away. Plus I'll be able to get in my own bath and my own bed and eat whatever I like...[wistful emoticon] totally not thinking about the pain or the tiredness as will be absolutely worth it

I remember DH being so sad that he had to leave me and DD at the hospital last time. It would be lovely to welcome her into the family at home. That's the plan anyways...have to get it signed off by the supervisor of midwives yet.

My friend has had her baby! 8lb 4oz born at 10.04 this morning. He looks just like her DC2. Can't wait to see them both, I am so excited by all the baby arrivals!

p.s. so sorry I forgot to welcome you back Hooya. Fx that all proceeds as planned and you'll be joining us very soon.

Hi wing had a good chat with DH. Have worked out what his worries/concerns were, and why he reacted the way he did. I think feeling more confident about things now and we are definitely both excited about the scan tomorrow. I think he was saying things in panic/frustration but it doesn't help at the time, especially when you are poorly and pregnant.

No chance of snow here by all accounts. Meh. Would be lovely for the kids, but then I guess loads of people would be jealous that we have lots of beaches!

Hope to hear news from something soon

I'm so glad to hear that waves. I guess communication is the main thing for any of our relationships, isn't it? You know you can vent on here any time you need to.

Guinea I've just emailed you the questionnaire with a few comments on completing it. Hope it helps :)

And I've just submitted the application online for DS's primary school! Eeek! DH in the end came round to my preference of the two village schools but that makes me feel like all the pressure for it being the right choice is now on my shoulders and if it isn't the right one, it'll be my fault

And of course I don't know what I'll do if DS decides he actually wanted to go to the other school... Gulp!

34 weeks tomorrow! Feel like ive got a bowling ball between my legs! Strong period pains/tightnings low down and feels like my milks come in wich obviously it hasnt.

Took my DS to get his first pair of walking shoes today!

Hi all and thanks for everyone's lovely words about my little arrival. I have to say her entry into the world was a bit shocking. I got to the hospital at 1pm Sunday and they said 2cm, she did a sweep and so go for a walk. At 3.30pm they rechecked and I was a whole 3cm . I think I was stressing about it being a false alarm and the logistics of childcare etc. I felt the contractions were extremely painful the mw said it could go one of two ways with a third, longest and drawn out or very fast. We went into the MLU pool room and the contractions started coming thick and fast. I glued myself to the gas and air and asked an epidural. I actually only said I can't do this, let me have an epidural until she was born. Think I was a broken record. The mw was amazing. Such a good coach. She checked again and I was 5cm. I felt desperate that it hurt so much and I wouldn't be able to do it. I was really panicked that I couldn't handle the pain for hours. Literally after about 3 more contractions I felt like pushing and she said fine go ahead your fully dilated. My notes say 1hr16mins in labour. I pushed a few times and she was here. The second stage is written down as 28minutes. It was brutal. I could barely hold her for shaking afterwards. I ended up staying in overnight just as it got late and there was no way I could have walked across the carpark without passing out. She is beautiful and perfect and the boys are in love with her. My heart melts when I look at her. Midwife is coming today. Then I plan to cuddle her all day long!

Waves, glad you and your DH chatted and that you are feeling positive.

Something, your turn soon, can't wait to find out what you have.

Mandasand in the FB group only has about 4 weeks til she reaches 37 weeks with her twins!

Hi to all my mumsnet JS friends x

Aww it's lovely to read your birth story - even though it was "brutal" Your cervix must have gone TA DAAAA! in those 3 contractions to go from 5 to 10cms!

Are you going to head off to the Just Mumming fred or stay with us a bit longer?

In other news, I bought some newborn nappies this morning in Sainsbury's. Just one small pack. DH was a bit when I unpacked them but I said I thought it would to help us realise that we have a little DD arriving (argh! a DD!) in less than 3 months time. He looked at me like "er, speak for yourself DW..."! Just me ignoring the whole thing then

tired, lovely to read your birthing story. Well done your cervix!!

waves, glad you managed to talk things out with DH.

something, cannot believe your DS (who is about a month younger than mine, I think?) is outside walking ready! I remember when you started weaning him!!
We're holding off on 'proper' shoes for another few months (hopefully)

that so many of you are close to popping!!
10+2 today, booking appointment tomorrow...in the evening, DS will be a screaming demon child around that time. Brill.

Thanks for sharing your birth story tired. You must have been in shock with things happening so fast especially towards the end.

I'm back from the 12 week scan which DH took me to. All is perfect, and I have an official EDD of 30 July. Based only on dates my GP has said 28 or 29 July, so just about spot on there. It is lovely to have seen the little one there - was our first scan, and now things seem completely real. Measured as being 12 weeks exactly, so I guess it is the "safe time" to start telling the world (and work) now.

DH and I are talking and talking now - and also reconnected in the bedroom so feeling much more positive. He is over the moon after seeing the baby. I am so relieved, and am going to ensure we keep open lines of communication going forwards.

Congrats on the scan waves!

Gary you'll be there soon as well - believe me it has gone --far too bloody- quickly.

I was thinking after I posted earlier about why I've not been thinking about it very much since we found out, even though everything is absolutely fine as far as we know. I've found myself doing this a fair amount with 'big events' in the past few years e.g. holidays, birthdays, Christmas (to a lesser extent) as if I'm worried about my excitement peaking too early.

Does that even make any sense? :( It's like I can't allow myself to be excited or over-think anything until it's much, much nearer the time in case I've sort-of used up all my excitement by the time it comes and I'm just over it all. I also think of all the other things I have to think about before the baby comes, e.g. tons of work stuff.

I have had a couple of little 'ooh! exciting!' moments over the past couple of weeks, like when we saw a very cute little toddler in Starbucks at the weekend and when we walked through the baby section in John Lewis in Liverpool, but then I shut my excitement down again.

Oh I don't know - I'm probably just a bit odd! You DO NOT have to answer that!

wing think I'll stay here for a while feel a bit shy of the other thread to e the jest newbie. Maybe when something pops we can go over together. Def feel like I knw everyone here so I'm not ready to leave yet!

gary not long until your scan at all now. Good luck with booking in tomorrow too.

waves your post is so lovely, you sound so happy really pleased for you.

Oh and wing totally understand how you feel. Remember I didn't really believe I was having this little girl at all until I saw her. I think it's to do with protecting yourself from possible disappointment. Now relax, believe and enjoy x

Thanks tired. I couldn't write all that out on FB earlier (and spoil your beautiful pic post).

I, WingDefence, do solemnly swear to start getting excited at least once a day by looking at cute baby photos and clothes online and working out what colour to paint the spare bedroom>nursery
