Just Shagging Grads thread No.13 for upduffed viroids!

[Nessalina]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 13th 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 thread we have graduated from is here in its 29th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread in postnatal clubs here for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates! It's a bit quiet at the moment, but with all these upduffed viroids hopefully it won't be for long!

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!

So, roll call below please, viroids!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Mothercare have emailed me a customer satisfaction survey!!

I thought my sickness had gone and was actually feeling a bit smug...it hasn't I have a sore throat too which is lovely.

On the plus side my neighbour has found and caught DDs guinea pig that escaped in the strong winds last week! Her cage blew over and I honestly thought we had lost her! DD is over the moon

hi all, good luck those with scans today. exciting. I've got my booking appointment this afternoon. Still feel so ill at the moment - was up for 2 hours in the middle of the night eating biscuits to try and stave off the nausea.

Sorry to bring a downer to fred but don't know where else to go to say this - I feel so low at the moment, can't stop crying and worrying about stuff. Wonder if I might have a mild dose of ante-natal depression. don't know whether to say anything to the midwife, as maybe its just hormonal and will pass but whenever I tell people about the pregnancy and they congratulate me I just feel hollow instead of excited and happy. I don't know what's wrong with me. Sorry viroids, just wonder if anyone else has days like these when they feel really down? I really need a nice cup of tea but can't stand the taste of tea at the moment!! I want my life back.

Oh splodge - don't worry about offloading here

I'd definitely mention it to midwife. It could well be hormones, or just the strain of feeling so ill all the time. But they might well want to refer you to perinatal mental health if it doesn't pass... (I'm still waiting for my app, 24 weeks later....) Be kind to yourself. Pregnancy is a huge overwhelming thing, I'm sure there's no "normal" way to react to it. No one can be over the moon 24-7, especially when they feel like holy shite! Hugs xx

splodge I would definitely bring it up with your midwife. I have to admit I felt a bit like that before the first scan, and I used to worry that the number of people finding out was getting out of control because when it all went wrong I'd have to tell them, it's calmed down a lot since having the scan though. Can't remember how far along you are, have you had any scans yet?

i'm 11 weeks, my 1st scan is next monday. I'm sure a lot of it is the constant grind of tiredness/sickness that is getting me down but i'm also quite apprehensive about having another baby i think & keep focusing on the negatives instead of thinking of the positives - a lovely new person in our lives to love and care for!! I found the 1st 6 months with DS quite hard so think that is affecting my attitude towards what lies ahead. It defo doesn't help that i work at home with only the cat for company so it's easy to wind myself up with worries and negative thoughts. Anyway I feel better already for getting this off my chest to you lot so thanks for the kind words. I will talk to the midwife about it this afternoon.

Splodge Definitely offload here! It's totally normal to get the blues on occasion - just think of all those hormones buzzing around your system and playing silly beggars with your feelings. Definitely have a chat about it with your midwife today, she won't judge and might have some practical ideas to pick you up, or at least be an ear to bend!

Ha! Give 'em what for on that survey Popz! I had the same thing the other day, really shitty service in a restaurant followed up by a survey! I had a lovely time filling it in

Hurrah for found piggy!

You soppy thing Min It's all a bit amazing really isn't it?

Good luck with the scans mini & lauren, I hope they're fab!

Ugh tee - public transport is pure evil sometimes!!

Luckily both my DM & MIL breastfed so they're on board, but they both weaned very early, as they did in the 80s, so I think that's where I'll be fighting my battles! No, no, he can't have 'just' a rusk at 4 months

I've only just woken up I woke up at 4am with a migraine - my first in months and months. Lovely DH got up to get me a snack and some water so I could take a codeine-y painkiller, and that seems to have knocked me out completely! Feel so much better this morning. Your head not hurting when it has been hurting really is the best feeling!

Oh Ness you've just made me realise I haven't had a headache in days since complaining recently that I was sick to the back teeth of them! Woohoo!

Hope all goes well at the MW Splodge and you start to feel better soon. It is hard to feel happy when you feel like shit on a stick

we're all here for you! xx

I think I'm going to whip the badge out tonight Pis for the journey home , I do feel like a tiny bit of a tosser wearing it without any bump, but if it stops me from keeling over/vomming on a suits lap then so much the better.....

Today i am living on Satusumas, Ginger tea and some kind of breakfast biscuit.
Popz I hope you are going to unleash the beast on that survey!!

Enjoy the scans viroids! Post pics! I love a scan picture.
Were off to primrose valley for our little holidays today. Ill look shit in my bikini because I'm storing fat in all the wrong places. Must be all the big Macs.

Or the baby gaggia?!

Rang the antenatal unit this morning to say that we don't want the ECV - the midwife was like 'ok no problem, if it doesn't feel right to you then that's ok' So that's good! We're booked in with the consultant tomorrow to get another scan and see if he's flipped, and if not then talk about c-section

Ds is 2 months

blimey cookie where did the time go! Before you know it he'll be almost two and climbing every vertical surface he can find

good luck with the consultant tomorrow nes

Can't believe that Cookie, it's flown past.

Splodge, I have been so depressed all through this pregnancy. Felt totally like you at the start. So strange as I was the complete opposite during my first pregnancy - felt really serene and happy. I'm putting it down to being infested with boy hormones . Not sure how I'll explain it if I end up having a girl. I kind of wish I'd made the mental health appointment now although not really sure what they could do to help tbh. I'm hoping I can just ride it out. Getting out to work definitely helps so that must be hard working from home. Try to make sure you book some time in to meet with friends or even go to appointments just to get out and about.

I'm about to start a mission to find a maternity winter coat.

Kato I'm not stalking you but 'briefcase bastard' made me laugh!

Haha!

Nessa, I wish I'd never attempted my ECV with DS. It was a long day being monitored and full of worry, for them to get absolutely nowhere! He was well and truly wedged with his big nut under my rib cage.

My ElCS was a wonderful experience with a great recovery and I'm insisting on another this time round!!

Hope the scans went ok today.

39 weeks tomorrow and I think I might be ready to stop being pg now and have a baby. I've booked osteopath to see if that might help with the baby's positioning. Something to do if nothing else! MrJ is saying he'd like the baby to come now as he feels sorry for me.

Glad all went ok re ECV ness good luck with the consultant, exciting to get a date!

2 months Cookie! That's crazy.

Hope all went well today splodge x

Hope the viroids with scans today got good news and cute pictures.

ness good luck for tomorrow!

splodge I suffer from anxiety which was totally under control /basically gone before the pregnancy but all the stress leading up to the 12 week scan seems to have triggered it off again. Hormones definitely don't help and I still find it hard to believe the pregnancy is real so know what you mean about finding it hard to engage with congratulations. I hope it went well with the midwife today. I'm sure it won't come to this for you, but my sis took antidepressants during both her pregnancies as had no choice and her children are honestly perfect. I want to avoid taking them if I can but if I need to, I won't hesitate.

Hope the scans went well!

juni you're so close!

kato I think I'm going to have a CS, I'm going to talk more to them about it after 20 week scan. Nice to hear good things though!

Hey viroids. I haven't read the thread but ill catch up tomorrow. I'm feeling really really rough, can't keep anything down and have a killer head ache and the shakes. Throwing up my stomach lining

On the plus side though the scan went well! Baby is fine, measuring 4 days bigger than it should be but they're going with the original due date still that the other scans have given. There's a really large mass in there though left over from my bleeding, I'm to expect to bleed again, and if its red I have to go straight in- but if its brown its okay...

I hope everyone's okay and minis scan went okay too!

Great news on the scan Lauren Did they say what the mass could be? Sounds like they're not too worried anyway.

Lauren are you 13 weeks now? Your pg has whooshed by!

I'm only 12+2 by the original scans gaggia which is what they're sticking to. But measuring 12 + 6 apparently

Thanks popz. They didn't say what it was just pointed it out! It's huge though, easy the size of the baby!

Oh Lauren that sounds both reassuring and scary at the same time. Hope you feel better soon .
