Just Shagging - Thread 11 for Graduated Viroids!

999 replies

JuniDD · 17/08/2014 06:27

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 11th grads thread...celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed Grin

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 27th outing.

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

There is also a secret facebook group, if you want to join, ask in-thread.

So, roll call below please, viroids! Smile

Horace I think second babies are different my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Also I have definitely had a looser tummy since having first baby but then I never really made an effort to sort it out. If you can think about exercise at this stage, I'm in awe of you!

Hope little Elijah picks up the BF again cookie and starts to enjoy his crib. Have you a good BF counsellor nearby you could talk to?

wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 08:09

What is ASOS sizing like?

JuniDD · 24/08/2014 08:19

is Elijah home with you then cookie? Great news! The only thing I know about bfing a refuser is lots of skin-to-skin. Sounds like he knows his own mind! Hope the feeding sorts itself out, keep going. xxx

ASOS sizing is pretty "true" if that makes sense wil. I can buy a 12 there and it will fit fine whereas somewhere like H&M I'd have to try on everything up to an 18! I find it similar to the Dorothy Perkins fit, if that helps.

I wanted to gain 2.5 stone and I am at 2st already...I do sit around a fair amount eating cake...

I'm a larger 12 because I'm tall, and it fitted me fine, Wil. I've had 2 winters out of it.

I like the second baby theory (plus I didn't try to lose weight after DD!). :-)

I need to exercise so I can get back into my work clothes when I go back in Jan! I also had a good figure pre-babies and I'd like to at least try to get it back!

cookielove · 24/08/2014 08:43

I already had a bit of a tummy before I fell pregnant, I was a 12 on top and 16 bottom. I can fit back into my clothes now! However I have really struggled with food so that probably helped shift some weight. I weighed myself last night and I am 1 stone, 10lbs lighter than I was before I gave birth.

cookielove · 24/08/2014 08:45

Yup juni I am home with him - gonna do lots of skin to skin today and also try nipple shields as he is struggling to latch and stay on any way. Also gonna re start my expressing in the hopes it all helps.

RPopz · 24/08/2014 08:50

So pleased Eli is home cookie - Hope the feeding picks up soon. Hugs x

Glad you had a nice evening Wil. I'm loving asos at the mo, and sizes seem fine. I've always ordered my regular size and never had to send anything back yet.

Tried on my bikinis yesterday and miraculously a couple still fit! Though they don't feel very "secure" and I did feel a bit odd looking in them so may well succumb to a tankini... haha x

wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 09:04

No popz, go for it, bikinis all the way! It's only because you're not used to looking like this, won't be strange to other people.

I'm only 5ft Horace, so I would tend to size down in coats or they just swamp me. So not sure it would fit. Thanks for the link though, lovely coat! Grin

ZylaB · 24/08/2014 11:46

Glad Eli is home cookie hope he settles in and picks up the bf again today :)

laurenamium · 24/08/2014 17:08

Excellent news that Eli is home cookie Grin

I went to the races yesterday with a party bus load of friends. Managed to make the whole day drinking non alcoholic cocktails and they didn't twig Grin just a few people asking if I was ill as I'm normally the pace setter when it comes to drinking Blush

My mum has just got the house/ farm of her dreams, and my horses will be moving there (perfect for help when I'm too pregnant to muck out and when baby is tiny) so I've spent today scrubbing stables and tomorrow will be painting. They're getting more attention than my house Hmm

Minion · 24/08/2014 17:26

With the boots parenting club app you can also get a free mam bottle.
And they've cocked up and given me an extra changing bag, I only ordered one!
Brilliant!

wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 18:05

Good work Min, love a bargain. I found some gift cards today so only had to pay a tenner for £85 worth of stuff.

TMI question coming up. Ever since giving birth, when my periods returned, the first day or two of them, I find it uncomfortable to stand up or walk far. It feels really 'heavy'. Dr Google says it's something to do with blood flow. Anyway, I'm now getting it after sex - just since being pregnant. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or am I just a big freak?

JuniDD · 24/08/2014 19:23

Good skills on the mocktails lauren!

Just got my Boots vouchers through too, need to hit Boots & Primark soon.

Sex really messes things up for me atm, wil so haven't done much. Might it be something to do with muscles being stretched/moving differently or nerve endings? Worth a trip to discuss with the doctor maybe?

I feel like I've got .

I got an amazing haul of baby stuff from my SIL today and more to come in the week. It's starting to feel real...32 weeks on Tuesday!

Grin Juni that video made me smile! I've got images of your baby whooping!

wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 19:58

Aw little baby Homer Grin . That is very funny.

Ooh I don't want to have to explain my heavy fanjo to a doctor. Can someone just tell me it's a) a normal pg thing or b) a normal post-childbirth thing, pretty please Wink .

RPopz · 24/08/2014 20:45

Like lower belly heaviness? I used to get that with first day AF - uncomfortable walking or standing. Sex, or rather the grand finish sometimes gives me crampy contracty wombness now... if that helps!

ZylaB · 24/08/2014 21:08

I would always have the heavy feeling first couple of days of period, always had heavy first few days, not after sex though.

wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 21:16

Oh good see it's normal. Knew I should consult the Viroids. I'll assume the sex issue will disappear after pregnancy. It's not an abdomen thing popz, it's a definite fanjo issue may be mature enough to say vagina/vulva by the time I'm 40. I wonder if it's a pelvic floor issue actually.

ZylaB · 24/08/2014 21:26

The heavy period feeling is lower stomach, not fanjo for me tho.

wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 21:44

Oh balls zyla, just pretend it is please. I bet it is to do with my pelvic floor. I'm doing 100 exercises a day from now on.

ZylaB · 24/08/2014 21:47

I need to start doing those too, I'm aware I don't do as many as I should Blush

cookielove · 24/08/2014 22:04

Hello

RPopz · 24/08/2014 22:04

Nah I think I got the heavy fanjo too... I always thought it was a sign that I needed to change the tampon.... Hmm Blush
The things you women make me talk about!! Lol

JuniDD · 24/08/2014 22:24

Hello cookie Wink

I bet with the pelvic floor exercises they only SAY you have to do a bazillion a day and ten a week is fine. That's my stance anyway.

My posh friend is coming round on Wednesday so I'm going to spend the bank holiday trying to tidy up. Anyone got anything nice planned?

OP posts:
wilmabedrock · 24/08/2014 22:31

I don't think it's a bank holiday here, although maybe it is. It'll just be a normal Monday for me anyway.

I think 10 a week is fine juni as long as you don't have any trampolining ambitions Grin .
