JSing Grads turn 21! We've got the Key to the door, cosy wombles and a drawer of dirty spoons.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 21st 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 38th 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!

All I have to say is ow fucking ow! Unsurprisingly my cervix isn't at all ready to have a baby as I'm 36 weeks so putting the gel stuff in hurt, a lot!

I bet she doesn't come today, this stays in for 24 hours if nothing exciting happens.

Fleurchamp · 06/02/2015 10:10

Thanks ladies.

I have pulled myself together for the time being.

Have emailed DH and said again about going to the pub later. No response yet but I know he has a busy morning and so I will let him off for now .

Exciting zyla

Don't let them forget about you zyla. I had the bastard thing in for 28 hours. It is really owchy, have you got a TENS machine? You might find it helpful later.

Bat, don't put pressure on yourself, you don't HAVE to tell your family. On the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter if you tell them face to face or not. I actually think maybe I texted my family this time, although that was a second baby so nobody cares Grin .

ChatEnOeuf · 06/02/2015 10:27

Ooohh, good luck Zyla! Hope things happen at a nice sensible pace today Grin Say hi to the neonatal team for me they won't know me, I've not worked there for months and be gentle, it's February so they will be new and scared!

Fleur I hope your DH stops being a dick. I feel your pain, mine's acting up as well. He seems to think that since I've had to stop work to traipse across Europe for his job, he has the right to leave his shit all over the house for me to clean up. Notwithstanding the fact that a half drunk glass of red would make me feel queasy and angry at the best of times, he seems oblivious to how this would make me feel now pregnant, unable to enjoy wine (even if I wanted it, it tastes wrong) and still queasy in the mornings. AND then he has the audacity to tell me I've got the best life ever, not working. Ignoring the fact that I liked my job, I miss the work, the banter, the social life...just because he's finding his new job a challenge. I long for a challenge that isn't related to cleaning up cat pee.

Ah Chat, MrWil used to say I had the easiest time ever when on mat leave last time. I think he has revised this opinion since number 2 came along. Leave all his stuff in a pile on his side of the bed so he has to deal with it?

batfish · 06/02/2015 10:55

Yeah I know willy i don't have to tell them - but they are staying with us for 2 weeks and we would usually drink quite a bit and they know I have drank on antibiotics before so I can't pull that one! Plus I have always been sad at the thought that when it did happen I would have to tell them over skype and wouldn't get a hug from my mum so part of me wants to, I just couldn't bear upsetting them if anything went wrong after me telling them so early. However my mum had a miscarriage in between my sister and I so would probably be a good source of support in terms of my stressing! Not that I have ever had a mc but you would think I had with the amount of worrying I'm doing.

laurenamium · 06/02/2015 11:22

Good luck zyla!

Welcome and congratulations toast Thanks

I wrote and posted a post this morning but it seems to have vanished Confused my car won't go into gear, it's already had a new clutch! So I'm sulking, car less and fear I'm about to be very skint!

DulcetMoans · 06/02/2015 11:30

I advocate the bed thing chat, I do that to DH if things get too far - just sprawl all his stuff across his seat in the living room or his side of the bed. Usually makes the point and, after the argument we inevitably have to have next, it works for a week or two.

What did you do before wil? I don't think being at home is easy at all but I do sometimes day dream about it - just to have the time to concentrate on my live and not the petty needs of colleagues. (Obviously today is one of those days!)

bat, hopefully nothing will go wrong, but if it did consider who you would want support from then. If you would want to talk to your Mum then no reason not to tell her earlier than you may have done if you lived nearer.

Missed your dickhead DP post fleur, sorry. I agree with the others though, maybe just scared and not dealing with it very well. Hope you can get a good conversation started about it and sort it all out.

RPopz · 06/02/2015 11:31

Hope you managed to get back to sleep Zyla ... you'll need all your energy!! Hope all goes well - thinking of you xxxx

Love to you all! Bit jeal of all your bumpy pics Wink.

willywallace · 06/02/2015 12:02

Well Dulcet at that point I was working as a nanny so pretty much the same as being at home only with more sleep! Don't get me wrong, I used to be a teacher and I think staying at home is infinitely easier once you are past the sleepless nights stage. However, I also think MrWil would last about two days doing it, especially if he was also up half the night and bf. I think for someone like Chat who is used to having quite a demanding but rewarding career, it would probably slowly drive you nuts.

minimooo · 06/02/2015 13:51

Welcome ga and toast! lovely to see you ladies here Smile

Lovely bump pics on fb ladies - I will add mine in a hour or so (just need to finish invoicing faffing about on mn first)

Sorry to hear that dh is being a pita fleur. Agree that the email/text sounds like a good idea. Hope you're able to have a heart to heart and get things out in the open Flowers

Go zyla! Go zyla! Got my pompoms out for you. Hope everything is progressing nicely.

btw I had the pooing baby out fear too (now she just wiggles a lot when I'm trying to poo - really off putting) Blush

Hello all, i'm nosy and like to keep you in my actives :)

lil did you say when you are testing? I missed it if you did!

I am currently trying to get Elijah to nap in his bed! He is 6 months in a week!

LaLaLaaaa · 06/02/2015 15:42

waves pom poms good luck zyla!

My friends baby was just born :)

Lauren that's shite that your clutch isn't working, can you call garage who fixed it last time?

Bat in the early days I told the people I knew I would tell if I had a mc anyway. I found that helped me to work out who to tell and who not to, but it's entirely up to you how long you keep it a secret. You're putting an awful lot of pressure on yourself at a time when you're just coming to terms with your new pregnancy.

Chat that would REALLY annoy me!!! No wonder you get fed up!

Cookie hi!!! Wow time flies! How is the munchkin?

We just bought a buggy! Went to shop to try the all out (silvercross, icandy and uppababy 2014 and 2015). Asked all our questions, got demonstrations of how to collapse etc and then cheekily went away and bought for much cheaper online!

We went for the 2014 uppababy vista Ella (green - I love green!). It was on sale online and gets delivered Monday. My friend is giving us her car seat which is compatible with it so we only had to buy system with carry cot. It's all starting to feel real!

Has anyone bought the metal brackets for the car, to for car seat into? I'd like them but it's another £160!

LaLaLaaaa · 06/02/2015 15:43

this one!

laurenamium · 06/02/2015 15:49

Oh I like that la! I still haven't been to pick ours up yet after going to hospital instead the other night!

I've got my friends husband coming to have a look at it tonight, it was his garage that did the clutch for me. If its the clutch do they have warantees? I know nothing about cars!

cookielove · 06/02/2015 16:04

La do you mean the adaptor or the iso fix base? The base is worth it.

willywallace · 06/02/2015 16:06

Test it out in your car though La. The isofix base didn't fit well in either of our cars and it would have meant doing some faffy adjustment every time we used it which was more hassle than just using the seatbelt.

LaLaLaaaa · 06/02/2015 16:19

The isofix 2 way was the one she demonstrated for us but yes I'd have to check our car. We have a corsa

teejayem · 06/02/2015 16:47

ooh, be interested to know what it's like with a corsa la, we have one too....

OP posts:
LaLaLaaaa · 06/02/2015 16:55

I'll find out tee and let you know :)

batfish · 06/02/2015 17:14

la you're so right I am putting a lot of pressure on myself - really I should be thinking that if something did go wrong then sod everyone else as we should just be worrying about ourselves - so unfortunately if it does mean letting down our family by telling them early and then having bad news then so be it, they are all big boys and girls. But anyway it will hopefully be all wonderful and lovely and easy from now on and in 8 months I'll sneeze out a nice 8 pounder in my sleep!

willywallace · 06/02/2015 17:17

That's the spirit Bat! That's totally how labour works too Wink .

I'm no longer sure whether I'm awake or asleep.
