Just Shagging Grads Fred 8! Roll up, roll up, all Viroids welcome!

[HumptyDumptyBumpty]

Just Shagging Grads, here is your shiny new Fred!

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 last thread saw plenty of births and we've got loads of new Grads to add to the mix. Bring on the TMI posts, the midnight moans, the birthwatches and the pom poms!

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 17th thread.

Hahaha blame my mom for the sayings, she's always banged on about tits on a fish!
Moving is going ok, we spend our first full night here tonight so that's a biggie.
Hoping it's quiet for us. I'm so tired it's untrue and my dodgy back has been given a right going over today with all the bending etc.
it was heaven having a bath earlier. 6.5 years in an apartment, 6 flights up, no lift with no bath... Well you can imagine the first thing I did.. Jumped right in, and then husband came in and fed me chocolate...
Wonderful!

Sounds lovely, Minion. We moved the other week...knackering (and still not unpacked fully!).

RPopz, there's very few people in the Facebook group. I'd be amazed if you knew anybody! :-)

Hi Wilhelm...we decided just to get it done and dusted as I didn't want to be 40 and pregnant. Hopefully it's a good plan (bit late to back out though).

That sounds lovely Minion. Must admit I'm not a bath fan but can imagine its rubbish to not have the option!

Feeling almost human tonight.... curry for tea! :-O

Girls I really am not feeling good about this. All signs of tummy bug have stopped and now cramps are all round tummy and back and upper legs just like when I had mc. Really don't want to be pessimistic but I genuinely can't think of a positive reason why it would be this sore and this consistent. Also haven't had any nausea for a couple of days. Hope I'm just being paranoid but the longer it goes on, the less hopeful I feel. Sorry to bring thread down, I'm away from home tonight so don't really have anyone to talk to.

Think positive! I had all sorts of aches and pains early on, everything was fine.

wil I'm not sure how these things work but can you get a gp to refer you to an epu?
I'm hoping it's just a particularly minging bug too and as fifi says we get all sorts of cramps! twinges and aches these early weeks.
Think positive and we are all right here if you need us x

Hello all life has been be very hetic! 13 weeks today and gender scan booked for 16+6. Here us baby no.3 any guesses welcome

Great news zenry!

Wil hope you're ok? Could it just be the tummy bug making you feel crappy? I know you've heard it before but my tummy was really sore for a couple of weeks after bfp and nausea didn't start being constant until week 6-7. Could try ringing nhs direct if you're worried. Massive hugs xxx

Just another bit of reassurance that we have all sorts of pains wil and they can be very worrying. If you are really worried and have previous experience then a call to doctors or midwives might help? Even if as reassurance!

What gender are DC1&2 zenry?

How was the first night in the house min? Does it feel like home yet?

Wedding was great thanks ladies. Drink thing was alright in the end. I had a few sips of champagne and then wasn't really asked about it again. Did get a stitch and some cramps having a jump dance though. It was the most pregnant wedding though, there was at least 6 that I saw, plus me secretly in the corner...!

OMG! mrsbri! I read your message last night after wedding and then totally forgot to reply!

Thank you so much, so pleased its finally happened, just fingers crossed now. Only took me until you were onto your second! Haha!

Don't suppose we can see in the Facebook group before we join? Just to doublecheck the members lost...! I guess not if it's closed?

How long do you have left?

Wil, I've has aches and pains and vanishing symptoms in both pregnancies. Drove my DH bonkers worrying.

I'm sure all is OK, but I know it's hard to be positive.

Dulcet, glad you enjoyed the wedding. :-)

I have less than 10 weeks left as I'll be having an ELCS, probably at 39 weeks, so 9.5 weeks left!

You can't see without joining, but you could join and leave ASAP if you knew someone!

hi, congrats hungry (that sounds weird!).

How are you doing today wil? I hope you had a nice evening and things settled down. Try to rest when the cramps/pains come on, that sometimes help. I also hope you are drinking plenty, as I ordered?!

MrJuni has spent all day so far lazing around in bed so not sure he'd be much use on the mess today!

Went to the cinema last night to see Godzilla, I'm sure the baby was kicking away, it was so loud. Hard to tell though as I haven't felt anything yet today!

What facebook group are you talking about? I might be in it. I have 2 boys already

Hello all! I've been in the land of no net for days, back from hols now! Just done a quick catch up, so apologies if I miss out anyone's news!
Hope you're feeling ok Wil and not worrying too much - it must be so scary for you when you've been there before The lack of blood really is the most positive thing, from what I've read that usually comes first and is followed by cramps, so just cramps is not automatically bad news xxx
Love 'scanxious' Juni - that's the perfect phrase!!
Hurrah! for getting into the new place Min! You now deserve lots of relaxing
I think I was in the FB group then left when we lost the baby. It's so off to see JSing 'legends' like Kitten & Hooya IRL lol.
Well I am well into the 2nd tri, and I think I'm going to have to face it - this is as good as I'm going to feel! Next to no nausea, but still sooo tired, and food makes me bloat. Bleurgh.

Well told the in laws today. Response was underwhelming at best... not really sure why. Supposed to be telling my mum tomorrow until she tried to change all our plans at the last minute and is now sulking because we asked to change them back again. Was really looking forward to this weekend and now I'm just wondering why we're bringing this baby into the world for no one to give a shit about. I already know my Dad won't give a crap. Sigh.

wil thinking of you x
ness yes yes yes to lots of relaxing! unfortunately it's not going to happen as there's so much to do.
It still doesn't feel like mine, it feels like we are house sitting at the moment. We did the ikea run for various bits n bobs today, Christ almighty. Every man, woman and pet ferret had the same thought, it was rammed. But we got some stuff and had some meatballs... Soooo good.

popz yes I know what you mean by people being underwhelmed! we've been together the longest but the bil got in with a kid first and so when we told them it was 'oh lovely news, anyhow how was your meal?'. Thankfully everyone's getting a bit more normal now. I think it's cause it's so early people are just cautious. I'm sure it'll be better x

It's true, telling people early they can often be less excited because they don't want to get disappointed. They'll be thrilled once the baby arrives!
My DH is only just letting himself get excited now we know things are looking good, but I know he's still terrified of something going wrong!

I'm just really surprised at DH's Mum. I thought she'd be bouncing off the walls and it was literally just "oh right". My Mum's sulking cos we're not going out tomorrow so expect she'll be in a mood tomorrow and not really feeling like I want to tell her now. DH's dad has already got grandchildren from his children from his second marriage - so it'll be nothing special for him. And my Dad hasn't spoken to me in months so not sure I'll even bother telling him. I really just want to cry.

Oh popz, that's a shame. Especially since you've been looking forward to it. I'm sure thy are excited, just done a shit job of showing it. Your mum might feel a bit silly tomorrow when he finds out if she's sulking. I hope that one goes better for you.

In really excited to tell the in laws, planning to do it next week. I am expecting tears and joy but maybe I should rationalise it in my mind a bit more in case!

Never ha an ikea meatball min, am
I missing out? Can't get DH in there!

I expected tears and joy from MIL... can't see them coming from anyone else if she can't drum any up! Hope you get a better reaction Dulcet.

Where are you Wil? Really hope you're ok x

Zenry, if you're the name changer I think you are then yes, you're already in the group!

Ness, I think I remember seeing you there. I didn't realise you'd left, but understandable. xx

I haven't seen Hooya in there for ages, actually. I hope she's OK.

RPopz, I'm so sorry about your MiL's reaction. You probably took her by surprise some how so her reaction was a bit wonky. She's probably kicking herself now.

Has she been in touch since to say anything?

My mum reacted a bit like that with this one, but she really was surprised as DD was only 7 months old when we announced it after the first scan!

I'm sure your mum will be more enthusiastic. :-)

Oh, and FWIW, my MiL is as excited about this one (grandchild number 3) as she was about the last. Just because there are already grandchildren doesn't mean there won't be excitement!

My PiLs will have gone from 0-3 grandchildren in less than 18 months. They're a bit overwhelmed by it!!

Hi Viroids.

Sorry for my spectacularly crazy display the other night. Turns out I'm a lot more affected by mc than I thought I was. Have seen a friend who is a GP and he assures me I have a viral thing and all will be fine. Was feeling shocking yesterday so didn't make it on here but starting to feel slightly more human now.

Sorry your news didn't go down as you'd hoped Rpopz. Last time my mum was pretty underwhelmed and I don't even remember what the inlaws said as MrWil told them over the phone. I don't think they were particularly energised. I think this was a lot to do with the fact we're not married. But rest assured, since baby came along they have all been super interested and doting grandparents. My sister was the only person who was remotely excited by the initial news.

Never had an ikea meatball Dulcet?? You must rectify this. You have to have the jelly though or the experience is lost. MiniWil doesn't like them. I nearly disowned her.

morning,
glad you're feeling better today wil. I will DM you shortly...

Sorry about your in-laws being a bit low energy rpopz. My mum was a bit "oh..." but then she's shit-scared for me (have a thread in childbirth re labour being like my mum's) so I understand. Hopefully once things move on a bit they'll get a bit more gee'd up.

ness how far along are you now? I think I'm a bit ahead of you? I didn't really feel better til 17 weeks and although I have to take it easier than I'd like and I can't walk very far (grrr) I can do stuff like put a load of washing on AND take it out in the same day, which was a bit of a miracle the first time!

Congrats zenry.

I think I can feel the baby a lot now, any 2nd timers who can advise? I wouldn't say it feels like flutters, more like a tiny human in there testing the physical boundaries...already!

Juni, I felt DD from 11+ weeks and DH got kicked in the head at 16 weeks. She was (and is) bloody strong and a kicker.

I've got an anterior placenta this time, so didn't feel anything til about 16 weeks and no real kicks til a bit after that. This baby is more of a wriggler than a kicker, though when I am kicked, it bloody hurts! I'm thinking big and strong again.

First timers generally start feeling stuff around the 20 week mark.
