The nice weather is making us crave burning meat on an outdoor fire, maternity leave is causing headache, and we are all soldiering on as the heat is getting to us - here is JS 26!

[Fattycow]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 26th 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!

Here is the stats list, please update your own spot with any updates: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oLJqpadAb2givKYq8OJfGCti3s6xzsTGlI-GoaBfM_M/edit?pli=1#gid=0

17 weeks bat, I think that can absolutely be movements!

It's like a live birth feed now mini! What's DH doing? Is he there and panicking or calm?

You seem so calm mini! Keep up the good work!

waves pom poms

Go Mini, go!

Bounce bounce bounce bounce!!!

rustles pom poms

Bounce!

Woohoo! Come on minimini!

Love the dh stories - mine is very polite to his parents, dull!

I agree kato - 3 weeks ago I felt fab and now I want to sleeeeeeep!

I think movement totally possible to feel at 17 weeks, I could feel bubbles

Oooh go mini!
bat I'm pretty sure I felt my first gentle flutter at 17w. Although still so gentle and occassional that I query myself! Still have it in my head that there won't be anything there/living next week.

Oh my does my dh turn into a teenager when his mum is around! Plus he never ever rings them. I'm feeling guilty that we're not going to see them this weekend which is silly because the only reason they ever see their son is because of me!
I'm actually at my sisters right now, looking after the baby whilst she has a sleep- her mil has just come round and my bil is acting about 15 whilst I talk to his mother!

Tmi question

Oops pressed send..
anyway, tmi question (I think we're past that though); when pooing does anyone else get a sharp pain at the bottom of their bump? Like uti pain..

mini you sound serene! What's your OH doing?
bat I felt movement early like chat and dulcet I can really feel it at night and I'm 17 weeks tomorrow so hell yeah you felt your baby!
mountain I'm not sure because at the moment I'm have trouble and it hurts to go!

I reckon that could be baby baitfish. Eye twitch in the tummy is exactly how I'd describe the first movements. Gor blimey mines like a sack of snakes moving around in there now. Come oooouuut! Am also impressed by your calmness & stamina minimoo. Exciting!!!!
DS insisted on playing hide & seek with me all afternoon today. Bit too many hidey places you can fit in at 40+2 weeks!!

Not not "bit"

Wooo go Mini!!!

Hope your time comes soon Splodge.

Congratulations Pixie!

Mini!!!! Go girl!!!

Ah thanks viroids, you're all so lovely! Hope it is baby! Get to see if all is well in there again on Saturday.

Will you post a pic bat? Also you could technically find out what the sex is...........ah go on go on go on!

Good luck minimooo

So glad it's not just my DH, he gets all stroppy over the slightest thing. He is good and rings his mum loads now she is on her own, but honestly, sometimes I think he must make her even more depressed with his sullen, monosyllabic "conversation". We now have a group FaceTime with me too which seems to lighten the mood.

I would say my first movement was like the eye twitch - ah, the good old days

splodge I read DH instead of DS at first and felt outraged on your behalf that a grown man would make you do that in your condition. Makes sense now

Yeah I'll post a pic Definitely not finding out sex though even though part of me is dying to! We agreed we wouldn't but hubby has been having urges to find out - but we're going to try not to.

fleur haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Puuuuuuuush mini!! How exciting! The pain is not tooooooo bad, right?!

JCandy, sorry you still feel nasty. Thought I was going to have to leg it out of bottom set year 10 science to vom this morning but managed to hold it together. I have been clocked by at least one person so far, apparently this is because 'You look like you are trying to hold in vom all morning' nice. Have stocked up on ginger nuts, bread sticks and fruit (LOVING fruit atm).

Did you guys find any decent wholemeal snacks that helped with sickness? bit of a health freak, soz if not I might get baking at the weekend.

pud what's your specialism? :) (nosey teacher question)

Wooo woooo min!!

Had bath and then arranged myself around giant pillow. Apparently it looked like I was trying hump it. . I am quite partial to a bit of acupuncture, if it's a bit more manageable tomorrow I might go to the osteopath; they do acu in the same clinic. I feel like a terrible whinger. It just hurts! Voltarol is sadly a no go, not allowed NSAIDs when up the duff, which is a swizz, I'm sure a couple of naproxen would help too! I'm seeing midwhiff on Friday, hopefully for a more productive appt than my last 7 minute one, and press her on what I can do for pain relief. Esp if I hobble in on crutches, maybe she'll feel sorry for me?

In other news! The mice are back in the loft. They've clearly got cold and popped back to chateau tee to warm up. I just don't want them to end up owl fodder.

It does sound like baby bat. Mine felt like popping candy but not until a bit later, but apparently anterior placenta = feel things later.

I'm cooking a curry, the house will smell for days and the cats look disgusted, but I don't care. It's going to be lush :)

Hope all's well Min Stay at home as long as possible!

Ooh you teach teenagers Pud. That scares me.

MrWil is very polite and chatty with his folks although it's still normally me who has to pass any significant news on.

So excited to hear news Mini!

Supposedly biology Zyla, but it appears to be physics at the moment as that is all I am teaching!

Ha! Teenagers are fine Wil, it's the small ones I'm scared of!

How exciting!

Can I tentatively join please? Am apparently a kitten. BFP two days ok so very earlily (I swear that's a word) pregnant, 4 weeks 3 days.
