Just Shagging Grads Thread 9 - Roll Up, Roll Up all you graduated Viroids!

[HungryHorace]

Welcome to the 9th grads thread...celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed. :-)

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 24th outing!

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

For those not in the know, a viroid is an autocorrected version of 'ladies' from the 1st JS thread, which then stuck.

So, roll call below please, viroids. :-)

I've ordered the sola 2 from m&p, supposed to be alreet.

Right, I'm writing this down in hope that Sod's law comes into effect and it happens as soon as I hit 'post', it's not meant to bring anyone down though, so if it does I'm sorry.
You all know how I've beginning to feel squirms etc, nearly every day, different times. But mostly they've all felt the same... Kinda like when you go into a new place for the first time and your stomach flips over...
Well, I can't be sure but yesterday I don't think I felt anything. Nothing in itself to panic about, I know.
However last night in the pub I started to get a few random sharp stabby pains, to the right of belly button, about an inch down. Really made me go 'oooohh'. Each stab lasted all of a second or so. And only had about 10 in total.
Does it sound like it could be round ligament pain do you think? I've been poorly the last few days, coming down with a cold, tired, sore throat, so am hoping that's not a side effect of something bad (side of paranoia, anyone?)

As you can tell, I'm now lying here hoping orange wriggles away just to let me know alls ok... But I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit freaked out...

I've no idea minion but hugs and I hope you feel better soon. I'm sure the orange is fine, but if you're worried go see someone and get a scan, better then spending the day panicking?

Try not to stress Min, I have definitely had those stabby pains a few weeks back, I'm pretty sure that they were just growing pains. It's also very hard to feel all the regular movements that baby will be making - mine is only active for a couple of hours each day, often very late at night, so if I snoozed I'd miss him altogether! Hoping that orange has squirmed for you already, but if you don't feel them today I'd say it's worth calling your maternity assessment centre and voicing your concerns. Mine were super nice when I had the bleeding and got me straight in for a quick Doppler test.

Ooh, stop posting tempting Mamas & Papas stuff!! don't stop actually, it's nice to drool! It's sooo pricey but sooo nice! We have house projects to finish before we're allowed to think about nursery furniture... DH is under orders to buy a shed, so that the lawnmower and man tools can come out of the attic (yes the lawnmower lives in the fucking ATTIC!) and the bike can come out of the hallway. Thusly the junk in the baby's room can then fit in the attic, and there's room for a pushchair in the hallway! Only then can I think about nursery!

I absolutely love cats, but I'm very allergic not that I care and Mr Ness is concerned about a cat, like, sitting on the baby or something Total ignoring the fact that lots of our friends have pets and babies. Silly moo. I'm just biding my time til the kids are old enough to desperately want a pet then I shall firmly side with them In the meantime I shall continue to love and adore my parents kitty cat

hey min, sorry about the stabby pains.
How far are you now? 16 weeks? I didn't feel anything properly until about 18 weeks. I recommend a cold drink or ice cream and lying down on your left hand side to get some squirms. But yes, contact your midwife if you're worried. In a couple more weeks or so you'll feel it at the same time every day and that's very reassuring. My baby dragon even seems to have stopped scratching me (but was very quiet yesterday...hey ho, more ice cream!). Oh yes, also did you have a busy day being upright? I recommend plenty of resting as well as staying active.

My pelvis is starting to really hurt . Times like this I wish we got to see the same midwife every time or the GP. I love my GP. I find it hard to go and see a complete stranger every time and talk about what's going on. Oh well, guess everyone else manages.

Hope you're ok Minion. My preg pack from the midwife makes a big hoo ha about not ignoring reduced movements for more than a few hours... but I think thats later on when its properly moving, rather than just the subtle twinges you're getting now. You're obviously really in tune with yourself to have noticed the movements so early, but its a double edged sword isn't it as now you'll worry when you don't feel it!! No harm in ringing your midwife if possible even if its just to sound off. I've had so many weird and wonderful twinges and pains since being pg - and have come to assume they're all normal! So unless its totally incapacitating agonising or constant pain (which it never is ) I try not to worry too much. Easier ssif than done though I know, hugs lady x

Oh nice one phone! Real nice! Apologies for the fred hogging!!!!

rpopz that is hilarious!

Hahaha Popz.

Min you definitely worry about reduced movement later on but I'm not sure it applies at your stage as you won't be feeling most of the movements anyway. Stabby pains are pretty normal, generally if it's not a long lasting pain, nothing to worry about but I also think trust your gut and if you're feeling uneasy phone the midwife. She might get the doppler out for you.

Popz, just a thought but a crib will last you longer than a moses basket as they're not very big.

Hahahahaha popz I feel better after seeing your epic postings!
Well I managed to get back to sleep, and when I woke up we had a twinge! Just the one, bit it's enough for me. So I've come to the conclusion orange is just like it's mamma and is lazy as the day is long, it really only gets going with Apple juice, me too and tangfastics... Hey, me too!
So guess what I'm chomping and chugging on right now?

Thanks girls, reckon the stabby pains were growing pains and a warning that I actually may need to slow down a bit, doing up a house, garden and walking everywhere may be taking it's toll now.

Just to convince the husband that rest is good... Not going to be easy. He actually thinks I'm being a lazy git. To be fair, he's the one, painting, up the ladders, doing the curtain poles, heavy lifting etc etc, I'm stuck with assisting and kitchen duties... Oh and sorting DVDs, books and CDs into alphabetical order... (Sssh don't tell anyone that's my favourite part) x

Much love guys, much love.,.

Oh and I'm 17+4 so defo a little early for the movement paranoia to set in, ha!

Ha, min, I'm resisting posting a long rant about my DP thinking I'm being lazy too. WTF is wrong with them! All the women I know keep telling me to rest and he's mardy with me because I'm not scrubbing. Not that he does fuck all mind you. He just lies around reading books and napping. Lazy fuck sleeps more than me!

So yes, get your feet up in the afternoons for an hour. Once I got to 24 weeks (only last week) the weight has started affecting me although I think the heat is really the culprit as I find it so draining. I can't really walk anywhere at the moment, it kills my knees. But it's good to stay active, just finding a balance is so hard.

Glad your naval orange gave you a wriggle too. xx

Good grief Rpopz!! I thought there'd been an exciting thread debate when I saw the number of posts!

Good news Min Deffo start to take it easy though - I certainly have! Me and DH actually had a row yesterday coz he asked me to get something out as a favour to him, but it would've involved some bending down and grubbing about on the floor, so I politely declined. Cue a row in which he said he 'wasn't convinced' that I couldn't have managed it!! Preggo rage ensued. Essentially he's worried that I'm taking the piss with getting him to do stuff!! I was like, erm no, I'm delicate man!! Having got it off his chest, I promised that I was never taking the mick, and I appreciate the extra help. I just wish he could take it on trust!!

I just wanted to make really sure that Min was reassured

I guess we'll have a cot as well, I just really love the idea of a moses basket... â?¥ To be totally honest, I have no bloody idea what we actually need and what's unnecessary. I shall be relying on you lot to tell me that
