We'd rather have a finger than a funnel whilst eating our bodyweight in Raspberry Magnums to ease the fanny daggers... keep growing those babies viroids, its JS Grads no 27

[Purpleball]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 27th 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

Morning all!
Yesterday morning we were up an out at half 7, DH is determined to get the house sorted out this week.

Collected the car seat, fitted base, had sun shades fitted to car, put cot up and the carried our clothes from the dining room up to our bedroom. It's a townhouse so 3 levels. By 1.30 I was in bed absolutely shattered. DH decided it was a good time to Hoover

I don't think my DH gets that I just cannot do as much as before. He's good in that he carries heavy stuff etc but he still expects me to be running around like usual (I am normally quite high energy and usually bounce out of bed and do all the chores before breakfast, please don't hate me!).

Although I can't really complain as he doesn't go out and get drunk la I would be so upset. Is he feeling contrite today? I know it's his line of work and so not so easy to say that he can't go out but if he can't reign it in then the law will just have to be laid. I used to go out loads when DH first met, I was in a different industry which was all about socialising. When we got married, things changed for me. It wasn't right that I was out until 1am or later with effectively strangers. I quit a year later.

bat I hope the pain subsides. I remember having a few days of pain early on. It turned out to be round ligament pain and subsided quite quickly. Bloody hurts at the time though!

Bat that sounds exactly like what I've had all along but mine is to the left of my belly button. As time has gone on its got less but it's enough to make me wince if not a wee squeal drama queen

La definitely have a word. He's being a nob. I'd be beyond livid.

Fleur sounds like you're all sorted

I can't wait to start sorting the baby's room etc.
We have to pick up the cotbed when we get back.

We're in St Ives, our favourite place for 2 weeks. Had a lovely meal in our favourite restaurant last night. But the walk up the hill nearly finished me off. And the town is car-free so it's not like I can drive down. I had to keep stopping to get my breath. It's never been this bad before

It was funny on the drive down. We were listening to The Killers so I turned up Mr Brightside and sang along as I always do to DHs disgust and babypurple was having a dance, I was getting proper booted. I figured she has good music taste

Hee hee good work baby purple!

Bat I hope the pain eases soon.

So the surprise poos continue. Yesterday's toilet visits were as follows:

Constipated.

Constipated.

Constipated.

Diarrhoea!!

What the actual f?!

And today's delightful new symptom is nipple pimples. Yet despite all of this I still get freaked out on a daily basis that I am not really upduffed. I am an idiot!

Booking in appointment with the midwhiff today, an hour at our house, but how awesome is it that we can do this on a Sunday? It means DH can be there too.

How are my fellow first trimester Viroids getting on? Looking, Gouda, Ethel etc?? Hope you are all okay and being much less mental about this all than my good self!

Thanks Dulcet, we have a family picnic in the park at lunchtime then we're off to a friend's house later - they're leaving in a couple of weeks so there's tea and cake to be had.

DD vaulted out of her cot at a similar age, Pixie. We were in no way ready to lose the stairgates (which she also climbed) or the cot sides but it was the only safe thing to do. A folded up duvet on the floor reduced bumps when she inevitably fell out of bed in the first few weeks :) She's quite a good gymnast now.

Hi pud, all good here thank you! Told mine and DH's parents yesterday which was great, they're all so excited and it meant we could talk about it all day!

Loving your poo updates I was really constipated during week 5, but this last week (week 6) I've actually gone twice a day someday a which is unlike pre-pregnant me! Not many other symptoms here other than the sore boobs, and feeling a bit rough every now and then - not sick exactly but headachey hungover type feeling. Oh and a delightful damp feeling due to increased discharge, splendid. I like to have symptoms though as it makes it seem more real!

When is your MW appointment pud? How far along are you, I've lost track of the 1st trim viroids!

It's still a poo lottery in the purple house

Tried DTD conventionally and I got bit freaked that baby would get squashed. Am I being irrational? Think we need to find a new position. DH not keen on spoons

Morning everyone!

See that thing women are really good at doing where you stay completely and dangerously silent? That's me today. Dh has just come up to give me a cuddle and I am completely and utterly ignoring him, other than the words 'go and get your sister up - it's time for her to leave'.

I got up to find that, for the fourth day running, there was a big mess of wine glasses, tea mugs and crap lying round for me to clean up - as I went to bed at 10pm and left sil watching tv. So I cleaned them up, plus the dishes from the dinner I cooked, that I stupidly thought might get done as a goodwill gesture for having had a dinner cooked for her? Silly me, of course not. Fri night we went for dinner but I was in agony with my back and bump because it was such a long day/week at work and when I get tired my bump and back/hips hurt. I struggled out anyway to keep her company for dinner, but felt rotten.

I'm now sitting on the sofa - sil is upstairs getting ready and has said she'll be going in a bit (think she could tell from my face that it's time to go) and dh has cut the grass and is now hoovering.

I'm going to have yet another word with dh today about the issue of his drinking and ask him please to consider that baby is due in 9 weeks and therefore we need to be able to go to hospital if necessary.

Meanwhile we're going to pick up the chest of drawers we won on eBay (£35) which are purpose built nursery ones with a changing top to them. Hooray! So we can crack on and get this nursery done. Except landlord came round yesterday to fix catch on nursery window and managed to crack the glass, so I can't put the stickers on the walls because he's coming back later this week to fix the window.

Yesterday's lunch was nice but again I felt a bit like I'd been screwed over - am I too nice, or perhaps am I expecting too much?? These two friends I meet every couple of months for lunch. The last two times I've been pregnant and have picked them both up and driven to the pub, which was 45 mins away from me (near one of their houses). This time the pub was to be near me and one of my friends, a 10 min drive for me and a 5 min drive for her. The other girl was coming on train so we'd agreed one of us would pick her up from station. They decided to have lunch later than usual at 2pm, which is fine except dh needed car to go to work at 3pm. So I asked could the girl who lives nearby please take me home after lunch if dh dropped me off? Response I get 'oh that's a pain, I was looking forward to a glass of wine :('.

So after driving them both to lunch the last two times I again ended up having to say fine I'll drive - picked one up at station and we met the other one there. She didn't apologise or anything and they had a lovely bottle of wine with their lunch. I then dropped them both home. Meanwhile my dh had to get a bus to work and a taxi home (and we all know now how that turned out!). They also moaned that I said my back and bump hurt and I would need to go because I had to lie down - cue much rolling of eyes and 'oh you pregnant people'. (she doesn't like kids and doesn't understand why I want to have a baby)

Am I unreasonable to ask for people just occasionally to let me have a nice time instead of me running after everyone else? Am I petty?? Sil even said to me yesterday that she 'really hates people who don't realise when they've outstayed their welcome'. Seriously??? I told her originally she could come from Fri to Sunday. She's now been here over a week because she turned up! Meanwhile I've not got anything done around the house, or for the baby, or for work, which has stressed me out, plus the mess she makes, plus waking me up at night going for a fag.

This is a me me me post and I@m sorry, but honestly I could cry. I'll answer all the rest of your posts in a second, I just had to get this out.

Oh and I've also had an email from my dad again about this whole saga with his business - no asking me how I am, how the pregnancy is going, nothing - just an email asking me to do something for him.

Fuck. Right. Off. World. I think I need some raspberry Magnums.

I also had to have a word with sil about leaving her fags out - dh is desperately trying to quit before the baby comes. It's a bit cheeky to then leave a packet of fags out for him to have to look at in his own house.

Grr...

Flippin eck La, this us why we need to be able to drink gin in pregnancy, absolute nightmare! Your people need to get their shit together and start looking after you!! Have all of the raspberry magnums and then go back to bed and indulge in shitty TV. Hugs and .

Looking I think I am 7-8 weeks, but due to long cycles MW has me down as 9-10, so booking appointment today and gx for scan 2 weeks on Thurs!

Oh La I just want to give you a hug. You've every right to be pissed off. I probably would give those friends a wide berth tbh.
I also wouldn't let SiL come to stay again. She's massively taken the piss.
Hurray for the drawers/changer unit though :-)
I need to find one to match the cotbed when we get it. Think I can do an ikea malm and a cot top changer.

Hope you have a better day today

Sounds like an emotional day la. Would it help to get out on your own for an hour and clear your head before the chat with DH?

Doesn't sound unreasonable at all to expect your friends to share the responsibility - or take responsibility for their own transport! I think people make a lot of assumptions about pregnant ladies and expect them to put up with being designated driver but really friends should be caring about what you want. And no thank you? That's never ok!

Once the SIL is gone you will need to have the talk. I'm sure that it will be horrible and there will be years but hopefully a positive outcome. Until then maintain the stoner silence - they hate that!

Oh la, you need a good shoulder, a cuddle and giant box of tissues. I would probably be silent all day and at bedtime it would all come out, then DH would ask me why I hadn't told him earlier. You need to have a serious conversation, tears are inevitable, but you need to get it off your chest, and people need to listen. Stress in no good for you or baby.

No poppyseeds tee, DH isnt keen on things getting between his teeth!
He's had cards from DCs, a lie in, some 'fun', a bike computer thing and a curing kit for bacon, he is very happy! His cousin will be here after lunch to go for a bike ride, then FIL is coming round for dinner.DH specifically asked for a sausage mustard thing that nigel slater has a recipie for, so not much work for me (takes 25 min to do!)
Hope Sunday is going well?!

Aww la you poor thing that all sounds really shit, I hate when people take the piss - I am always too accommodating and therefore end up get people walking all over me, it's not a nice feeling at all. Especially when you're heavily pregnant your friends and family should really be taking care of you a bit better. Hope you feel better soon, has your hubby acknowledged why he is in trouble?

She's gone!!! She's gone! Hallelujah!

Leaving two big dirty marks on the wall of the newly painted nursery:(

Gah, I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate! Hope your DH is grovelling La.

Glad she's gone la but how on earth has she marked the wall?? Definitely sounds like lots of people in your life are taking the piss at the moment. Hope they start being more considerate now!

Sorry you are having a crap time la

I totally get the friends thing too. I was supposed to be going to a party last night but I was just utterly exhausted. A friend had asked for a lift last week and I said yes. I called her at 4pm to say I wouldn't be going, she didn't answer so I left a voicemail and sent her a text. I got a sh1tty reply at 7pm saying she couldn't get a cab for an hour and would be late. She drives FFS, it wouldn't kill her not to drink. So then I feel bad

How on earth did SIL get marks on the wall? You are well rid!

So far I've not had any major piss taking. Although I've not yet had an invitation to my friends birthday night out that another friend mentioned!

I've got a very achy bump today, all round my waist feels uncomfortable. I even turned down a cream tea as I couldn't face it

Oh la hope the day gets better for you and DH takes you seriously. And hooray SIL has gone, boo to the marked walls! Hope it's not lasting damage.

I have a horrid cold viroids. Miserable. Can't take anything for it really can I? I ache all over and I'm having a huge snot fest. Also it's playing havoc with my bladder, weeing every 2 minutes. Bleurghhh. Hauled myself to work for the morning seeing as it was only a few hours anyway, and then a supermarket trip, so I am officially done in now. I'm on the sofa getting head butted and lots of furry love from the cat.

You can take paracetemol Toast. Feel better everyone.

La your friend sounds like a bit of a knob. Her want for wine shouldn't trump your DH needing the car for work. Maybe try to work on sticking to your guns. People who haven't been pg are never going to understand what being pg is like. And on top of that, she sounds as if she is completely lacking in empathy.

Definitely paracetamol toast, and hot lemon and honey. Hope you feel better soon!

I'm feeling shit. Just so tired and keep retching. Need to eat something but have no idea what to have as nothing is seeming good to me. I know this is normal but I can't wait for it to go away. Was fine to start with but now I'm miserable. I'd be turning that cream tea down too purple!

Sorry that you feel naff Jcandy, I feel your pain. Have you tried nibbling rich teas? The only things that seem to win for me are cheese, olives, pineapple and pickled onions. all in a bowl at once. But I find that sometimes I really don't want to eat even though I need to and then fizzy orange or orange with tonic water is good as the bubbles make me feel better. Also, napping (a lot) is good. Hopefully you only have 3 more weeks of this!!!

P.s. have you got your 12 week scan through yet? We may end up having them at a similar time.

Yeah I'm trying to eat little and often but it seems to change what I get on with. Got my booking appointment with my midwife tomorrow so might find out my scan date soon. 9 weeks today so hopefully not too much longer of this.
