Hop aboard the good ship JS Grads for it's sweet 16th pregnancy party. Don your party hats, grab a bouncy ball and quaff copious amounts of raspberry leaf to celebrate our coming of age!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 16th 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 33rd 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!

ness! Epic story, just G&A! Like a boss. Bad times about back in NHS finest though. Are they any closer to knowing what's triggering the river? Hopefully it's nothing and they'll let you go home soon, and I've never had a cannula and after reading this, really don't fancy one.
Feel better soon.

scoob, beauty of a rugrat! Congrats again. (I may, or may not be tearing up seeing all pics of newborns lately)

Miracle babies last night nearly finished me off.

la they don't call the first trimester, headfuck city for nothing. It can be so similar to ERTD it's alarming. Try not to worry, and don't overpack anything for your trip. Remember at this stage relaxin is flooding through your body, last thing you want to do is pull a muscle etc x

popz and a huge congratulations on your huge dumpington! Always satisfying, shame it wasn't the baby dropping though. I'm still living in hope mine has, but I'm not banking on it.
pretty sure the little wiggler has gone transverse again

I'll find out tomorrow state of play and if it has, that'll be a c section..

Eeek 2 weeks today!

Oh no Ness I'd cry too, no shame! I'm a needly wimp. Hope the scan goes ok and they get you sorted today. Glad J is with you at least

Aww La ... it's horribly normal. I think my early preg cramps were worse than AF ones tbh. Stretchy burrowy bean! Cramps are good, honest. Hope your train journey is uneventful and you have a lovely cosy time with Mama La. Not long now til the scan!

Oh yes congrats on the poo popz! Poopopz?

Min I think it sounds as if baby has dropped if you feel you have a bit more space. Fx anyway.

I am on a mission to not stuff my face today. Felt fine. Had toast and now feel a bit stodgy. I think eating is not my friend at the moment. Today would be a great day for a duvet day, it's chilly!

Poopopz

wil duvet day here too! Just picking out my box set du jour. I'm getting movement on left and right so I'm suspicious of the kids whereabouts now.
Suppose it could be doing jazz hands...

Jazz hands! Preparing for grand entrance!

Started well. Dh drove me to station. I got out and he started to drive off with my blooming suitcase! Silly man.

Anyways am all good, looking forward to a few days r&r with my ma.

Jazz hands min

An ex with a huge history of being a nightmare has tried to get back in touch with me. So now I'm faced with a dilemma. Do I reply and be polite but not carry on a conversation- 2/3 word reply conversation killer (If I don't there's a chance he will turn up at my house and DP is away), and also do I tell DP? He hates him and it'll cause cross words/ possible violence if they see each other.

Oh and just played the pregnant card on train - nice man lifted suitcase onto rack for me!

Nice la now make sure you get to sit down all the way to York now! If you're taking your DM for alcoholic cocktails at all make sure you go to evil eye. Their non alcoholic cocktails are to die for!

lauren I find a polite 'hope you're well' then nothing more usually does the trick. I've got one who resurfaces once a year - he's married with a son but still says 'I could do with a massage but presume you wouldn't do that for me anymore?'. Wife is lovely.

If you don't answer would he turn up?

Also I would tell dp. Easier to tell and deal with outcome than keep it from him and look shady if he finds out. I tell mine and he shrugs and isn't bothered - if I didn't he would be more bothered as he'd wonder why I didn't say

Yours sounds similar to mine la! Mines about 6 monthly and he has a long term girlfriend who quite rightly hates my guts. If he has a drink he is likely to turn up if I haven't replied. Ill tell DP about it when he's home then I can be more casual about it rather than making it a "thing"

Train whiffs faintly of vomit. Is there actual vomit on trai. Or is this my spidey senses coming into play?

I reckon it's pregnancy nose someone will have been sick 3 months ago or something!

Girls, I may not be around for a few days. I'm having to go back to north east to see my dad. He's taking a turn for the worst. Husband was halfway to wales when he got the phonecall so has turned around and coming to get me.
Typically now he's stuck on the m56.
I'm in pieces, have had to cancel MW tomorrow and don't know what to do, I've ran around like a headless chick, packing unpacking.
Hopefully they can get me in a local hospital in boro.

Please, if you have a moment can you send my dad some happy thoughts?

I'll check in as soon as I know.

Oh God Min that sounds like a nightmare. Hope you're ok and baby minion stays put for now x

Oh min sending thoughts your and your dads way! James cook will be my hospital when I give birth and its not too bad. I had DD there, if you want I can PM you the maternity assessment numbers on the front of my folder so you have the phone numbers for the right department in the hospital? Don't forget your notes!!

That would be amazing , yes please lauren, SIL is a phlebotomist there, so husband is just ringing her to find out.
I've got all bags packed, notes included etc.
Husband will be pleased if this one ends up being born in the boro tho. Haha
Die hard smoggie!

Ill send them now! At least then if you need to see anyone while you're up here you can call! They have always been really good at getting me in the same day I've rang x

Def spidey senses La - I still smell shit everywhere!

Shit, Min Hope you're ok. xxxxx

Just rang them. They couldn't have been more awkward! All I wanted was an appointment, Jesus you'd think I was asking to be admitted there and then.
'Well you're not an emergency case so there could be a 2-3 hour wait', yes I know that but is there any way you can squeeze me in to be measured etc..
'Well it's odd, but you may need to see doctor etc'
Yes I know, that's why I'm seeing someone here on Monday...please

And so on and so forth.

Wish I hadn't bothered to be truthful, what really was the fricking icing on the cake was when she laughed in exasperation.
After knowing my situation.
Thoughtless heartless bitch.

min hope you and the baby stay ok and your dad too big hugs and positive thoughts

Oh god Min, how awful
Sending positive thoughts out to your Dad, and I hope they get you sorted with an appointment locally despite the unhelpful bitch Some people have no fucking compassion
Try and keep zen - I know it's hard xxx

Min that's terrible! Did you get an appointment in the end?
