We're waving our poms poms and eating our magnums as we try not to lose control of our bladders. It's JS Grads 29!

[LaLaLaaaa]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 29th 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 47th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread 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: stats

Oh Dear me, what a few days to miss. If anyone has a link to the Just Giving page I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the lateness but I've been ill and busy and I probably missed it through blurred vision from crying so hard at the old thread I'm at a loss for words, really. Devastating news.

Sorry to hear about your stupid consultant Tee, glad you'd foreseen such nonsense and kept backup codeine for emergencies. I like your thinking, stay one step ahead of them and you're home and dry.

Cym I'm glad to hear you're getting your beauty sleep, take all you can get while you're child-free. My mother has my LOs overnight tonight because we have our 20 week scan and the consultant tomorrow. I am making the most of it by lazing on my sofa making a list of questions for my poor unsuspecting consultant who isn't going to know what's hit her.

JC ltb! Only joking, take him shopping and choose something ridiculously extravagant. How very dare he!

As for sleeping, I wouldn't worry Toast. It's hard enough to sleep at all when heavily pregnant so however you manage it will do. If you're doing anything wrong you'll become uncomfortable and move naturally so IM(admittedly totally unqualified)O just sleep anyhow you can.

If I've missed anything important out sorry, my memory for this sort of thing is useless.

Couldn't do a fancy link, sorry! Overwhelmed by the generosity of the Viroids and other MNers too, wonderful ladies all of you.

La has kindly added me to the FB group after much fannying about on my behalf so I have been able to stalk you all see your lovely bump pictures. You are all bloody gorgeous and have beautiful bumps! (Bit jealous). Tee, not being funny hut I presumed with your cream cake habit that you would be the size of a house! How do you manage to stay so slim ha ha?! Lovely to see you all for real. I will post a scan pic on Monday of the twins, my belly is blinking huge

*but

Thanks Pud, lovely to see you too, and don't worry about bump envy, when we've all deflated and have our LOs you'll be bumpglorious and resplendent and I can't wait to see your bumpie pic when it happens :)

Evening viroids hope everyone's ok. Disappearing nausea and sore boobs here, plus lower back/abdominal pain. Not feeling optimistic.

Hang on in there Looking, remember that symptoms come and go and change.

looking I think it's common for symptoms to come and go, but don't quote me on that. Gx for you.
pud I also joined the FB group (thanks la) and am too jealous of gorgeous bumps and viroids. I took a pic of my belly yesterday to keep a "bump" diary haha! Don't think I'm
Gonna see much at 4+4 ;)

I'm so tired I'm gojng to tuck in early. Night all x

Symptoms can come and go. How I used to hate all day morning sickness... But then getting worried on the few days it didn't hit!

Love and hugs to you all viroids. So shell shocked to hear of chat's news. Life is a little hectic here right now and not much time for mumsnetting but am thinking of you all x

Looking my symptoms have come and gone. Aches start and stop. If you're not bleeding it's a good sign. MC pains were like very strong period pain for me if that helps at all.

Tee, doctors are arses sometimes! Hope something happens soon

Rhi, enjoy your lie in

I told my manager at 5 weeks, I felt better knowing she knew and it made her ease up on my workload a bit

Cym and Before hope something happens for you soon too

I've been lying on my left a lot as I feel a lot more movement that way, especially since yesterday's news.

I luuuurve my Dream Genii - thanks La for recommending I do turn over during the night and don't need to turn the pillow too.

Jelly good idea re 'before' pic, I wish I'd done that. I just know I can't see my feet when I'm stood up now

Fleur that massage sounds lovely. I had mine in a special chair yesterday which was a bit odd, I was very fidgety. It helped with my backache though

Hope all is ok Popz.

Yes Dulcet, peeing hurts lots afterwards if you've had stitches.

Thanks for the list Wil. I've done a spreadsheet

Red blood has started

Stay calm Looking. Keep an eye, don't panic. Do you have the number for midwife/EPU if it's needed to reassure?

Looking. Definitely phone EPU for a chat.

Out of hours useless, nothing they can do tonight. Just have to wait until the morning.

Looking I'd phone the EPAU too. Don't use tampons either. Keep an eye on it. They will ask what it's like. Take some paracetamol for the pain.
Keeping everything crossed for you

It's very stressful looking but not necessarily the end. Did they say you needed to call back tomorrow? Did they tell you what they can do tomorrow? Get yourself laid down for the evening and keep hydrated.

Awww, looking, gx for you. It's such a horrible wait but hopefully EPAU will see you tomorrow. Big hugs. Try and get some good sleep.

Thanks for the calming thoughts earlier viroids - it is day 54 today, so have on tenterhooks. No morning sickness last couple of days and distinctly crampy this eve but breathing deeply. I did sleep beautifully last night for the first time in ages which has helped with the crazies a bit.

looking (((massive cuddle))) how is the pain?

looking we're here, def rest and fluids like the girls have said, all fingers crossed for you xx

I know it's going to be a long night for you looking big hug try to get some rest. Hopefully by morning bleed will have gone. It's not uncommon in early pregnancy, try not to assume the worst. Thinking of you lovely

Hi all

Catching up - Kato that's fab that you're all healed already! Hope wee one is ok?

Can't believe how much money has been raised, viroids are amazing!

Dream genii rocks! You wrap the long side down your left and between legs and little bit goes into other side of your back. So pillow between legs helps to keep your spine straight and rest keeps you angled off your back.

Advice about not being on back isn't to do with harming baby, it's to safeguard you. There's a blood vessel that gets squished when you're preggers if you lie on back and can make you feel dizzy and sick. Happened to me one day - I got up and threw up.

As long as you're slightly angled you are fine, you don't have to be totally on side. Left side better as it frees up space for baby . This all came from midwife, Physio and my fitness teacher

Very tired so going to nap now and catch up in morning.

Loving the lists! Glad everything ok cym, tee is that bag in the car yet woman?!
