Our super healthy fanjos just love getting their five a day but we draw the line at frozen poopsicles. We're the 25th JS Grads!

[Pisghetti]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 25th 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 42nd 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!

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!

The stats sheet will be linked to by our stats hero La (can't do on iPad sorry!)

So, roll call below please, viroids!

tee you've nailed it there! LOL La, literally, anyone who tells a pregnant woman that they are "huge" - at any stage in the process - is a complete eeejit. Particularly when you are petite to start with! You are NOT huge and I would guess measuring no more than 1 or 2 cm either side of normal. Do I remember correctly that you are having a boy? If so, you are more than likely just carrying "all out in front" as seems to be my (very unscientific) assessment of the difference between carrying a boy and carrying a girl.

EPU was inconclusive so joining u daisy in limbo land :( thanks for all the kind words & thoughts. Worn out from marching back n forth across the hosp beyween epu, ultrasound n bloods

Dildo cam was fine, only uncomfortable when she was searching for my right ovary

Hi all, just checking in during the first moment I've had to sit down since landing in the UK on Friday afternoon! Had a great weekend at my sister's birthday - although it was in a field and was absolutely frigging freezing. We had booked into a b&b where most people were camping and I can't tell you how happy I was! Today we are sorting out boxes of crap that we left in storage 6 years ago and I am mostly playing the pathetic preggo lady who can't lift anything heavy card. And even the small things I can lift I'm refusing to as they are covered in spiders. Or so I believe.

Feel like I'm getting a little bump! It looked like it was rounded and suddenly appeared a few days ago and I even had someone comment on it but then I keep thinking my eyes are deceiving me and it's just me having a fat day! We are off to look at prams etc tomorrow which is super early but we can save a lot of money by buying in UK and we won't be coming back again before baby comes. Family have bought us a few little baby bits which are really cute. Mother in law even knitted a blanket which is gorgeous and my mum has bought us a lovely pale grey and white one which I think may have inspired the nursery decor!

Right I'd better read back and see if I've missed anything exciting!

Sorry 5hell and daisy waiting is sh1t, GX for you both.

la I am with you on the bump comments, it really gets me down. I think you are like me though, all bump out front and I am trying to take it all in good humour. I have also spread the word via my office friends that I am feeling quite sensitive ATM.

The friends thing is weird. Before I fell pregnant my group of school friends always left me out of the weekend trips to the park/ farm etc. I was only invited to the meals out and drinks.

Now, I see them more than ever and a couple are even meeting me for lunch from work on Friday - never happened before, it's strange.

One good friend who I used to work with in the city years ago when we were always hitting the town and our meet ups invariably end up with me being poured into a taxi has completely ignored me since announcing my pregnancy. It hurts.

And, TMI, but can piles burst? I have just had to go for a no. 2 and it was like a massacre lots of bright red blood. Help!

I don't know if they burst fleur but have def heard of them bleeding - you poor thing!

I haven't noticed friends being weird yet but am only in early stages. I do worry about when baby comes though as a lot of our friends that we see regularly do not have kids and I keep reminding myself they are probably not going to be that interested in ours because (sorry if this sounds horrible) I'm never that bothered about other people's kids, I would much rather spend time with them without the kids there. So I wonder whether any of our friends might not invite us over sometimes! But maybe we won't care as will be too busy having our own little party!

Yes Fleur they can pop. I've never found them hugely painful, more uncomfortable and bloody gruesome!

I had a bleeding one after a big hard poo a few weeks ago fleur - I thought my bum had torn, but after the initial flood it seemed to stop. I cried when it happened :( slapped some anusol on the 'area' and it seemed to help. I don't know if I've got internal piles or something as there's nothing on the outside.

Yeah I agree with the piles thing. Usually hurts when pooing but then just feels like you've got a space hopper between your arse cheeks when done!
Sorry to hear you're in limbo Daisy, that's shite xx
The dildo cam doesn't sound that bad , as this is my last child though I'm
Hoping I still won't have to have one though.
Glad you had fun Bat, I love camping but don't think I could when pregnant so im with you on the B&B front!

Evening campers!

Fleur that sounds a bit bleurgh, it might be a pile or is it possible you just tore? I had to have the indignity of pulling my own poo out last night, it just wasn't budging

Finished painting nursery yesterday and I came home tonight to find dh has built the cot. Squeeeee! It's got lots of stuff piled in it but it's still there!

My ergo carrier just arrived too. Bought it off gumtree for £45. It's arrived and is brand new, still in original packaging! What a bargain :)

5hell I'm so sorry you don't have any answers yet. I remember being in your position and it isn't fun. We are here to support you.

Echoing the others really 5hell hopefully you'll have some answers in the next couple of days

False alarm from my sis this morning (stand down troops!) But she is having intermittent pains so can't be long before something starts?!

I got results of my quad bloods back today, 1:11000 hurrah! Makes me feel slightly better.

la you are gorgeous don't let the bastards get you down, as the others said: people just don't know what a pregnant person looks like a lot of the time. I keep getting 'I can't even tell your pregnant' type comments, which I find just as annoying as it makes me worried. tee likewise, gorgeous.

I'm sitting outside (wearing a down jacket because it isn't really warm anymore but I refuse to admit I missed the nice weather by being at work) drinking non alcoholic cider.I have a pack of Pringles, would it be really really bad to eat the whole lot?

Scan went well, thanks - all fine, and we managed to resist the temptation to find out if it was a boy or a girl!
However, as I'm on anti - anxiety medication, they've booked me in for serial growth scans, and I've got to go back at 28 weeks, which would be another opportunity to crack and find out. Think i won't, but curiosity might get the better of me....
pics aren't great as junior wasn't feeling very cooperative, so might either post some so you can tell me what on earth it is i can see on them, or just wait for the 28 week ones!
Sorry that no definite news for 5hell or daisy, and hope you both get good news soon.

Really pleased everything is OK deeply you are very strong not to sneak a peak!!

Definately not bad mountain. Eat them aaaaaallllll. (This is coming from someone who has had giant ice cream sundaes for lunch two days running)...

Hope you get news soon 5hell and Daisy.

Yayy to cots and nursery La

Well done for not cracking Deeply. Ours is in 2 weeks time and we're also not finding out. I'll be having lots of scans too

Think I felt another movement today

Need to read up

I ate most of a bag of sensations and I'm not even pregnant.

Great news Deeply.

Sorry you're in limbo Daisy and 5hell. I hope you find out what's going on soon.

Ouch Fleur

La, you need a smart remark, and they can bugger off. You look fab

Mountain hope you ate them all

mountain its exciting having a sister in labour. I remember all this from my sis last June. Good luck to her.

thanks again for all your kind words. feeling crampy now so may well be back to the JS ttc thread in the v near future. feeling quite calm about it tho.

(i know it's not over till it's over, and i'm v inexperienced, but I think I just 'know')

Oh 5hell loads of us have been through it so no matter grads or undergrads we will be here for you.

Keeping everything crossed for you both 5hell and Daisy. Most of us have been there and we do understand

Oh 5hell, so sorry. FX for you as well, the wait is the worst. Hope you have someone there to look after you and help take your mind off it during the wait.

5hell I'm thinking of you - that limbo is just awful, I'm so sorry you're having to wait to find out what's happening. We are here if you need us, do come on here and vent or ask questions, whatever helps

5hell, I'm too tired to properly catch up, but I just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts.

Thank you for all the lovely messages and kind thoughts

Bleeding started again so expecting the worst back in tomorrow for bloods and results in the afternoon had a good cry today so I'm ready for the news either way

Just wanted to thank you all you have been amazing help and support over the last few days and hope u don't mind me lurking to see how u all get on x x
