JS viroids are here in their 28th outing complete with exploding belly buttons. There's royal foofs and jiffy bag gifts, but most certainly NOT x-rated colouring books at the VAGINA party HQ!

[ChatEnOeuf]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 28th 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 46th 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

Actually La and Chat really good leaflet about why they don't currently test everyone in the UK...I didn't know about the false negative bit...

And not to bombard you but I also found this if the just refuse to test you, or you want some peace of mind: gbss.org.uk/what-is-gbs/testing-for-gbs/ecm-test-where-how/

I'm even more confused now. Midwife implied only daft people ask for the test but my baby is precious and I don't want to leave anything to chance

Chat I'm sad to hear about that poor baby - did he survive?

Been working from home so I took my bra off. Totally forgot and so when delivery guy knocked I answered door. Didn't realise til afterwards that my boobs had leaked a bit. Oops.

Off to exercise class now!

Also she told me you can't be mobile whilst having the iv antibiotics so it would be difficult to do water birth. But I just read that's not true

Thanks to all those who responded since my last post, just catching up on the rest.

I'm feeling a bit more positive today, didn't really have the pains for most of yesterday evening, all last night and today, then literally got two stabs of the pain this afternoon around 4-5pm, but noting since so I'm really hoping it is just one of those things. No hint of any blood and I've still got sore boobs on and off and that lovely naggy car sicky feeling when I haven't eaten for a bit so gx all good signs.

purple did you find out what your pains were? So sorry about your mc.

Ooh and Jelly's preggy? [whispers] did jelly have a mc recently? Or am I getting her confused with someone else? Either way, yey!

Ha ha La, oopsie. I had the police come rounds once re: my ridiculous former neighbours when I was bra less, I was a bit . I had also just poured myself a glass of wine from the bottom of the bottle and therefore looked as if I'd had a whole bottle of wine to myself. I was going to hide it but then I thought that they would notice with their detective skills and think that I was a mentalist braless alcoholic lady who hid bottles of wine behind plant pots!

Yes, the test the NHS use isn't very good. It's all about money, sadly. The private ones are better. The ABx go in quickly and are only every 4hrs once your waters go, so not that much of an imposition (IMO).

Personally, it's an intervention/screen that I would prefer to be universal as the cost of treating one is so high - and it's a relatively acceptable test (foof/ass swab), but I know I come at it from a different angle to a lot of others.

He did survive, I last saw him a few years back, doing well - miracle :)

looking no this is jellys first pregnancy. Most of us have had mc though and a fair few on the js threads have had one recently.

Hello viroids. Quick check-in. Congrats & welcome to newbies! 2week old baby now & am slowly adjusting to life with no sleep & ten times the usual amount of laundry ! Ah it's all worth it tho. He's darn cute! One thing I have to say I'm LOVING if anyone's considering getting one is our co-sleeper. (Babybay). It is awesome. Makes it so easy to feed him at night & settle him & if he's fussing I can just reach out & hold his little hand. Lush! Defo recommend it. Xx

Just had a mini 'heart attack' . I was checking DCs before going to bed, and DS wasn't in his bed! Had a look under his bed, he has a mid sleeper, no sign of him. Knew he wasnt in with his sisters. Switched on lights to my bedroom and there he was, sleeping like a baby in my bed, and he had brought a few books with him. Had to call DH in from garage to put him back in his own bed.
In other news, fairy lights arrived today, working well, just enough light to see moses basket and baby without awaking DH.
Still having back pains and mild contractions, still going nowhere. Saw mw today, bp fine, no protein, baby head down, but not engaged in any shape or form, but may well not be untill she has to be.
Congrats to tori! Hope all whent well.
Chat it must be hard for you, knowing all the worst case scenarios, and very dificult to switch your medical knowlage off when youre alone with your thoughts. Try not to worry too much, and its probably best you share your worries with DH or friends and familiy, or on here, than to worry on your own. (im tired, so may not be making any kind of sense, sorry)

cym will they induce you soon or just let you struggle on? Are you in pain? I think you should just start pushing!

Looking, the midwife said the pain was normal

Cym, I'm surprised that didn't set labour off!

We've been to the pub for tea and did the quiz...and we won! Prize was a tenner - glad it wasn't booze! Bloody heartburn now though

Hey Splodge, glad things are going well

I've just woken up in a panic attack and I don't know why. I'm shaking and have a horrible feeling of doom.

Baby hasn't moved yet which is odd. Going to lie and try to wake him up :(

How you doing all? Have had a few kicks so doom isn't baby hopefully! Maybe I had a bad dream

Girl on my exercise class went into labour yesterday at 32 weeks, perhaps I should pack my hospital bag in case...

Cym your cheeky ds made me chuckle. Can imagine your panic though that's not fun! Are the contractions painful?

I'm getting quite upset about work - I just feel ready to stop now but still got lots to do :( and 4 weeks to go

Looking- glad you feel more positive

Baby squirming now, he's properly awake, feel a bit mean for waking him!

Hi splodge! Glad you're ok!

Well deserved on pub quiz purple!

Noisy tweety birds this morning! Looks beautiful out there though, hopefully it'll give my (as yet unflowered) plants a bit of oomph. I've been awake an hour, payday tomorrow and I'm already mentally spending it... Whoops. Had a (hilarious) shag last night, awkward and uncomfortable as anything but we laughed a lot. Doesn't seem like Mr Tee's magic seed has done anything overnight though. Oh well! We can try it again tonight.
Woke up to some (relatively minor) news via social media from someone I considered a close friend until I fell pg. We've been friends since preschool, so the best part of 20 years. She's married and has no dcs, we used to see each other once or twice a month. Just before I found out I was upduffed we went drinking and she launched into a huge tirade about too many unloved kids in the world and people were selfish for having them, and she enjoys her lifestyle far too much for it to be wrecked by babies, and all her friends were pregnant and boring. Bear in mind I was always the slightly, ahem, wilder, of the two of us. At the time I just went along with it, bearing in mind we were about to put ttc on hold for the wedding, so when I told her the news a couple of weeks later, she completely cold shouldered me and I've not seen or spoken to her since. It's really, really sad.
I invited her over a few times and suggested meeting up and she replied 'ooh yes I'll have to come and see you while you're fat' but nothing ever came of it. I suppose I was naive thinking everything would carry on as normal, but I've just realised that we simply aren't friends anymore, it's like she's cut me out of her life and isn't interested, Which, I think, is a huge waste of a 30 year friendship.

God knows why I'm sharing this, Mr tee is still asleep and I needed to get it off my chest! Might go and have a cake.

teejayem that's very odd and upsetting - do you think maybe she has ttc and is unable to so goes on the defensive? I know obviously a lot of people genuinely don't want children, but they would usually still be happy for others making different life choices, just seems like odd behaviour.

33 weeks today!

What was the news tee? You didn't say!

Glad you've got a wriggler now la! The doom thing could be a dream, you might remember later. Don't scare me with labour stories at 32 weeks, I'm not ready! (Saw your FB July thread comments, hope you aren't angry!)

Congrats on the quiz win purple!

Glad you are feeling more positive looking. Car sickness is a good way to describe my nausea so all good!

All that testing medical stuff went over my head but will read a couple of the links.

I've baked a cake for a cake sale today and it's gone a bit tits up. It didn't really rise and seems quite hard. This is what happens when you rush! Led to an argument with DH who moaned that I am doing too much and not eating right. In the fight he said it was eating too much chocolate, which I am, and now I feel fat and ugly. (To his credit, so you don't think he's horrible, he was saying I can't have chocolate for meals as I don't really want dinner and haven't been eating my sandwiches for lunch). Anyway, we had to make up to go be a nice couple at NCT but I am a bit sad about it. And determined not to eat chocolate!

Have a cake tee.

That's sad - but perhaps it's one of those friendships that's run its course? I have lost quite a few good friends over the past 7 years.

I went through a wild patch - I'd had a lot of family stuff go down and had dealt with it maturely and keeping a brave face. One day something snapped. I started partying hard, got a very dodgy boyfriend and did what I wanted for a bit. A few friends deleted me off Facebook or cold shouldered me. They didn't get it. I still feel sad about it because if they met me now I'm back to the person they used to like. But the fact they didn't stick around to find out makes me think they weren't true lasting friends in the first place. I remember my best mates standing next to me at a festival at the end of that time in my life. I had spent the past day off my face. A band came on who I loved and whose album i got when my gran died (sigur Ros). I stood and sobbed. They gave me a big hug and one said 'are you finished now?' I just nodded. I was done. They'd hated what I was doing but still stuck with me. Others didn't. Similarly some friends disappeared when I stopped partying so much as I'd met them through that scene. Others (like Mr La) didn't.

It's the same now - i moved 500 miles from family and friends for work nearly 4 years ago. Some people have kept in touch, some haven't. When I move home I'll look up those who have.

Now I'm pregnant. I had a group of mates through work and horses since moving here. I've had to sell my horse so don't see the horsey ones anymore. Lots of the work ones have stopped inviting me to stuff since I got pregnant. It's like I'm invisible. But I guess they were also 'right now' friends and the ones who've kept in touch and still consider me in stuff are the ones who will last.

You will make lots of new friends through this baby and it's an exciting new chapter. Hopefully your friend will realise she's being a tit, but if she doesn't then perhaps the friendship just ran its course?

That was a long post sorry:(

I do rely on you guys a lot these days though. I'm very lonely in RL and it's nice to have someone to talk to

Dulcet not angry just wasn't a fan of that post, it was unnecessary

(Waves at Jelly lurking) Hellooo, join in when you are ready pet.

Told DH this morning that I am supposed to put on 4 to 5lbs in the first trimester. He thought I said 45lb!! His face was hilarious!!

Quietly slides in to avoid notice

Hello peeps. Tentatively saying hello, not sure I 100% feel ready but I feel i'm going to have some questions over the next few days and with what's going on on the shagging fred I don't want to divert attention from poor pickle :(

Anywho, for those who don't know me, I've been on the JS'ers fred since August 2014 when we started TTC. I'm hopefully still upduffed with my first ever Jelly Bean, I can't for the life of me work out how far I am, NHS says 4 weeks but when I count the weeks from my last period I make it 3 weeks and 5 days. My EDD is between 26th January and 30th January depending on which website I use (NHS says 26th so I'll go with that). I was spotting most of Tuesday and Yesterday, BFP on a FRER in the morning and BFP on a digi in the evening (1-2 weeks).

I'm off work today to keep my mind off the spotting, even though it seems crossing everything cross-able wobbly to have slowed down to just brown slime. I managed to not POAS today, going to use another FRER tomorrow so hopefully it'll be positive. Also been advised to call my GP re. the bleeding but I have no idea what they will do at this stage because it's so early.

Anyway, sorry for epic post of epicness, if anyone could tell me what my numbers are in terms of weeks for certain i'd much appreciate it (or i'll just make it up for the lols) and I hope you don't mind me tagging along for now!

I had a cream slice and I've got back into bed with the cat.

Afaik she isn't ttc, it would have been one of the things we'd have talked about... and the more I've thought about it, the more resigned to the fact that we are just on different paths. Can't share the news dulce it''d totes out me! It's really daft anyway. I've swapped breakfast for cakes, so tell your dh to stick his chocolate opinions up his bum. Seriously though, I'm finding more than one normal meal a day a struggle to digest, my appetite is rubbish, aside from the sweet things, which is hilarious to everyone as I'm usually not of a sweet toothed disposition at all and would take a multipack of crisps over cream cake any day! You are absolutely not fat or ugly. We've seen the pictures. You are yummy.
I'm pretty dependant on here too. I lost such a massive friendship group when I went NC with my ex (pre Mr tee) and it didn't really recover. And then I've moved, (because of work, I'm not on the run!) 9 times in 12 years so a lot of people I am in touch with, are purely through FB. I've signed up to a local mums group and we are going on a picnic next week so hopefully will meet some people there providing I don't get a horrendous social anxiety attack, plus I have a couple of friends who are local ish who already have kids (although one had massively traumatic birth and I'm avoiding her a bit because she keeps telling me about it over and over, yes I'm a hypocrite... :()

pud throw away your scales! You're growing a human!
