The JS Grads turn 19! We're cooking and popping out our JSing babies with style, co-ordinated changing bags and a healthy dose of humour!!

[Leela5]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 19th 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 36th 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!

Hi essie! Sounds like you've been through the mill. Glad to see you here and fx for a smooth ride from here on in
Oh, and I think runny eggs are allowed now (as long as they are lion stamped)? I've been eating loads of dippy eggs and soldiers, so I hope they are!

la that's awful and sounds a bit like she's taking advantage of your situation to me I'm sorry you're in such a difficult situation.

zyla you poor thing, that sounds really stressful. I agree that bp can be high for lots of reasons, so hopefully Thursday's check will show that it's gone back down to normal.

ooo tee I've not seen those before! I'll check them out this evening.

Not much to report from chez minimooo. Feeling lots of kicks and punches all over bump...she's an active little one! Thought I'd chosen the colour for the nursery (Farrow and Ball 'Calamine') but now that I've painted the tester pots, it looks far too lilac for my liking. Think I'm going to have to reconsider...

what an awful predicament la :(

zyla sounds a bit worrying :S but blood pressure does rise fairly generally over the second half of pregnancy (apart from mine, mine's so low I keep almost fainting)

wil... how is it possible to contaminate your own urine sample? Do I want to know?

I had dinner with DD at about 6pm... would it be awful of me to pretend I haven't eaten and have a second dinner with DH when he gets home at 9pm? OR should I just finish of the chocolate roule in the fridge before he gets home instead?

Ok, bags packed for me and for the little one, enough for at least a week! But I have kept it to a wheely hand luggage case for me and a smaller bag for baby.

I've shown DH where spare pjs and clothes to come home in are (put them somewhere separate with the posh camera so he can grab those as needed, but they aren't anything desperate for going into hospital) and there's also a written list of stuff I can't pack until the actual time (insulin which is stored in fridge etc), so I'm ready....just hope I don't need them for a while.

Would you keep them in the car, or just easy to grab from the house?

I'm doing fuck all tomorrow except putting stew into the slow cooker! Going to try and chill out....

Oh la she's definitely backed you into a corner re selling! How awful!

I haven't read rest of the thread yet will have a catch up in the morning. I'm feeling pretty drained after the consultant meeting and scan. He's in there wriggling around which is good! But his percentages are all dropping, currently all still in the centiles but I don't like seeing them drop and the consultant then spent a good 40 minutes telling me how real a risk having a still born is and what I need to be looking out for re reduced movements etc. I knew it already but hearing someone say it and say I should be working day to day and not scan to scan like I was doing made me feel a bit sad. DP is in the "everything will be fine" camp too so I feel like I can't really talk about it in rl! I'm sure ill feel more positive after some sleep!

Hope your scan went well fleur!

Oh La that's a bit crap - hope you can find a solution that keeps you happy.

Zyla, 5.3% yes I'm old is freaking awesome! Well done. My BP randomly went up a bit towards the end - cue terror from me, I was born at 34+ following my mum's severe pre-eclampsia. It settled though and my wee was always clear. I kept my bags in the hallway when at home (easy to put extra stuff in) unless we were going out for the day/weekend, then they came in the car with us.

Oh lauren my DH is the same, keeps saying everything will be ok. I know he's just saying it to reassure me and try to calm me down, is yours doing the same? Fx your little one keeps growing and stays in as long as possible !

chat I am super proud and smug about those results, just trying to convince myself the bp is a random rise for no reason. I'm going to make her test urine for protein on Thursday for reassurance!

Lauren. That must be really difficult. Positive thinking though. Is it two weeks until your next scan?

You're a decent number of weeks now zyla, just have to hang on a bit longer. I agree keep bags in the house if your DH might be away with the car at any point. If not, I don't suppose it matters.

I'm not sure you do want to know Boo. The phrase 'vaginal secretions' was mentioned . I can't even piss in a pot properly .

Loads of braxton hicks tonight. Hope it doesn't mean anything, I'm knackered and I still haven't packed my bag!

Oh Lauren that's really tough - i know your dp will be just trying to help, but yes it can be frustrating having someone say 'it'll be fine' when you're anxious. Mine does it too.

Will catch up on the rest in a bit x

Oh! well if it helps wil I had to do a urine sample for a UTI a year or so back and they found blood in it so they gave me antibiotics because even though I didn't test positive for an infection they thought it was caused by an infection, they sent the pot away for testing and everything... turned out to be menstrual blood

lauren that sounds a bit scary, and it's a shame that your DP is too busy with the rose tinted glasses to be much help as a sound board for your concerns. :( Are they looking to induce you early?

Haha actually Boo that really helps! At least it's not just me.

Hi all

Caught up - employers being shirty about mat pay/leave and training/bonuses pisses me off! Our mat pay is shite but they are quite good about annual leave tacked on. They do have a habit tho of promising folk can have p/t after mat then 'whoops actually you need to do f/t' after a month of returning.

Essie that sounds like you've been through a lot I'm so pleased you're finally pregnant.

I'm sure you can have lion stamped dippy eggs!

Zyla why can't they do tests tomorrow? I don't understand making you wait til thurs. Try not to worry, I know it's so hard. Well done on the sugars!

Horse situation nowhere near as important as baby worries, sorry for having banged on about that. I guess I was kidding myself that I could do both with no money and no support. I've decided after chatting to friends, family and his old owner to sell. He's in a lovely home where he's well cared for. If I brought him back he'd be stuck in a field til after baby and if anything happened (like they tend to with horses at the wrong moment!) he'd have to be sold anyway so at least he's going to a place where I know the owner well. She wasn't being arsey, just honest. She went through 6 years of mc and fertility problems and now can't have kids so horse is her world. She was frightened of getting too attached which is why she decided not to continue loan. She'd said a whole back she wanted to buy him so I knew it was on the table. I'm sad but I've got to look at what's best for all. I'll hopefully be able to get another once my babies are older.

Wil I think my pee always has protein in it - they always send me for tests but can't work out why. Hell at least it's not semen contamination ;)

I've got a nagging crampy stretchy pain in right womble. Earlier it was wind but now it's just sore. Hurry up Friday scan!

la that made it sound like you have a left womble and a right one!

Lauren I really hope it all goes OK for you. I imagine your dh is just as worried as you are but is trying to be string for you. if you need to talk then tell him that's what you need.

wil haven't you packed that bag yet! get on with it woman!

zyla well done on the sugars. try not to worry about your bp. worrying is bad for your bfp!! I had a random high reading once at a pill check. I think it was just because I didn't like the nurse! fx its all fine on Thursday.

It tickles!! Baby is having some sort of party and it fricking tickles?! whaaaaaaaat!!!!

wil I'll do it, bring it all here and I'll pack it for you! I've run out of things to pack into my bag and bumps bag :(

My bp always drops when they take it because I get stressed and it drops for some reason. It went down to 70 something when I was in hospital during mc. It's very odd. They always make me stay until it goes back up.

Wide awake here - bleurgh

Me too La, I feel sicky .

I think in my head if I don't pack my bag then it means the baby can't come yet. Realise this is utterly ridiculous.

Wil - you might feel better once bag is packed? Try doing half of it and see how you get on?

You're right, I am the world's biggest procrastinator. I have done the baby stuff, just not my stuff. I shall do it today if I can stand up without feeling like I need to vomit .

Thank you for the support viroids! I feel much more positive this morning! DP is just as worried but he thinks he's got to be positive for me I think. I rang my DM after posting on here last night and ended up crying on the phone which shook him up I think and he was much nicer after then! Next scan is a week on Monday!

la you are being very mature re your horse and selling. I would revert back to child like tears and tantrums if I had to sell mine I think!

Glad you feel bit better today Lauren x

I don't feel brave, I feel like I've failed him and I'm going to cry like a baby when it's time. But I have to put my family first :(

Nice one wil, just take it a bit at a time . I think I'd be the same - packing for your baby arriving is like the final step which could be quite daunting

La you haven't failed him! From everything you've posted you're putting him and his well being first by selling him! Will the girl buying him let you visit etc?

Yes she's a lovely girl, she'll treat him like her baby and will keep in touch. I know I'm doing the right thing. It's just bloody sad

Oh Lauren Hugs xx

Wil - pack your bloody bag!! That baby is coming OUT. Thinking about the random selection of shite the baby and I would end up wearing if left to DH's devices spurred me on to pack mine

You sound like you're being very sensible La. What a difficult situation At least you have miniLa to focus on. Would she let you see him still or would that be too hard?

That is one heck of a cervix gate Essie! Onwards and upwards now!

Hahahhaa that's a very good point. He'd pack all my skinny clothes. And he's colourblind.

Fuck I feel worse than awful.
