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

chat i know im a new grad, but you are MORE than welcome to stay here and chat anytime you want. As I said on the other thread, I hope you are managing ok. I would be so happy to hear from you any time you want to xx

Of course stay around Chat if it's not too difficult. We would miss you too if you weren't here.

Tee won't hospital provide formula? They do at ours.

So pleased it was good news Looking.

Thanks chat, stay around for the chat

Hope your family is doing ok x

Chat it's lovely to hear from you. And I'm sure I speak for us all when I say we would love you to hang around here. If we can be of even the slightest little bit of help just by nattering on pointlessly on here, well, you'd better brace yourself for the bestest natter we can muster! Huge hugs x

Hi Chat, lovely to hear from you.

Tee I bloody love a zip lock bag. Defo going to use you for inspiration when the time comes. DH won't be allowed to touch it though because he will mess it up.

Jelly I missed your post earlier about cramps. Please try not to worry, mine were horrendous. I still get cramps now but not as painfully, I do tend to walk round holding my belly though as it helps. Then I remember that it is supposed to be a secret! And try tinned fruit for the poos. Although, to be fair, I have never pooed so much in my life as I have since I got upduffed. It's very liberating. (I am eating A LOT of tinned fruit).

Nope wil there are signs up all over the mat depth saying they will provide sterilizing facilities and teats/bottles but not formula. Not in policy.

chat lovely to hear from you, please continue to hang out here & poo talk.. ;) xxx

It def sounds A lot jelly but honestly it's all quite condensed!

Gah, I wish there was an ultrasound app for smartphones. 4 days to go. Mnnnehhhh.

Looking with regards to ovarian cysts, when I went for my 12 week appointment I had one. Apparently they are perfectly healthy in pregnancy (all those hormones ) and can sometimes break down obviously resulting in what you experienced (which must've been so scary for you) I actually don't know whether mine is still hanging around in all honesty as nobody has told me that it's gone or that it was still there when I had my 20 week scan(ages ago now!)
DD is still thankfully my friend after I had to hold her down after her jabs. Definitely sending DP with her next time. I've done all the injection runs and they don't get any easier (if anything it gets bloody worse and the screaming is much louder ) OH is at cricket practice this evening so I'll be putting pest down in an hour and then I get 2-3 hours all to myself! I cannot wait! I'll be in a slob by pjs, drinking vast amounts of tea and probably devouring copious amounts of biscuits.

My football team are getting suspicious because I've pulled out of training and the next two tournaments we have!! Oh well.

Just had a 7 kg cat land on my belly. Fun.

tee are you giving birth at queens?

You don't even have to ask chat, we all want you here as long as you can bare us! Stick around and talk bollocks with us if it helps, whatever you need.

I have been reading and will comment properly later but just feel rotten today so in bed and meant to be napping. Can barely keep eyes open!

Stick around for as long as you like Chat xx lovely to see you here x

Oh Dulcet that sounds a bit shite, hope you're feeling better very soon x

Tee that is beyond shit.

dulcet hope your ok

Lovely viroids, I still can't join your lovely club as still not upduffed and not even shagging at the moment but just wanted to pop on here to say what an amazing group of women you are and you all still have my support ( I enjoy the occasional lurk to keep up with your nausea and bowel movements)
wink , even though I'm not a regular on here or over on the j'sers currently.

chat lots of love and best wishes!

And a picture of my new fur baby to bring luck to those hoping to pop theirs out soon x

Ooh lots to catch up on.

Very slow start to the day (literally, could only manage snails pace on my way to work- felt like odeon a marathon by the time of walked the half mile or so from the car) but picked up mid morning and have had a great day since. Seems I must have popped out a bit as I got a lot of bump comments, don't really mind them at the moment though.

looking- hooray! Lots of us have had bleeds and have turned out to be nothing to worry about. The first GP I spoke to over the phone on the Friday evening was similarly negative, then I saw my own GP on the Monday morning who was more positive (prob because bleeding had stopped by that time). Was told mine was probably due to softening cervix.

Rhi- lovely news! Can't see the pic on the app. LOVE the thought of your double arse ditty and four nipple dance routine

Chat- so lovely to hear from you, stick around and let us know how you're doing, if you can and want to.

Thanks all for sleeping/pillow advice. Think I should stop worrying for now and get a dream genii if/when I need it for comfort.

Dulcet are you ok? Poorly sick?

Love to all first tri viroids feeling poorly, second tri viroids feeling it's all got a bit real recently, and third tri viroids who are fully baked or getting ever closer.

Bloody hell you lot can gas!!!

I only checked this at lunch and now had about 50 posts to read!!

Here goes catch up:

Chat - I would really miss you if you weren't here! Obviously if it's too much for you we totally understand but you're part of the furniture so of course we want you here x

Rhi - yay for a girl! Can't see pic but will go on PC later.

July mummy group have worried me again. I get really really itchy at night and particularly on my legs. Just feels swollen and like no scratching will ever make it better, but scratching feels equally wonderful and painful. It's only at night. People are talking about something called OC and they've now scared me. Should I be scared?

Tee oh my god that list rocks! I also thought you had to pack tiny tee

I lost my rag at work today and cried. I've paid into health scheme for 4 years. When I got pg I asked hr for meeting in November and said I need to know what I'll have to pay out of mat pay each month when on mat leave because we needed to plan finances for baby. Got told I'd be paying tax, reduced student loan and pension contributions. I asked about health care and the email I got said 'the company will continue to pay that'. Nothing about me having to still pay. I then spoke to the healthcare people in December about maternity benefits. They said I get £200 payout on cash plan when baby is born.

A month ago I again clarified my monthly payment to the scheme with hr as I wanted to reaffirm what I need to pay each month. To my annoyance I got told the other lady made a mistake and I still need to pay my contribution. Which is £21 a month so quite a lot! If I'd bloody known that I'd have cancelled in November.

But I thought fine I'll carry on til July and cancel after I get my £200 payment from cash plan. On Friday we were told the company is pulling out of cash plan scheme on 30th June, 14 days before my EDD when I'd get my £200! And they've given me 1 month notice of this. So now I've been paying every month for fuck all! So I met with hr and my manager today. Some snotty hard nosed cow from hr told me it was tough, decisions been made and 'well we are all disappointed'. You might be love but you're not about to have a baby and try to survive on this company's shitty maternity scheme for a year! There is a 'window' which is the only time you can leave or join the scheme and that's June. So I am now going to have to wait til end of June to leave, thus paying another month fee to the scheme, only to now not get my frigging payout!

I told my manager I thought the hr bitch girl was about as sympathetic as fucking saddam Hussein. He didn't correct me.

Two words - screwed over.

??

Ooh good luck tonight niff!

Hooray for people's birth choices being listened to!

Before - you should come to fit mummy - it seems to set people off into labour. Although you can't move...

Raspberry leaf tea?

Will think exit-y thoughts for you!

Get well soon dulcet

Hi tink! Miss you! Hopefully you'll be back here soon xx

Wil/tee we have to take formula too if going to ff. it's printed on front of my pink notes to make sure I know to take it!

Love the vagina song!

Oh no la that's shocking? And you can't claim back anything? :( fucking companies

la is the itching on your hand and feet and does it come with swelling? In fairness I do think you should mention it to your midwife.

It's only on my legs ga - only at night. I get it when not pg too but not this bad. Got mw on tues do you think I should call before then?

La that's an absolute shitter - what a lousy company that they couldn't at least honour the £200 payment. A strongly worded letter to the CEO?

My sister had the itchy thing when she was preg with her first - I don't known much detail but she was monitored quite closely as it indicated something to do with liver function. It was nothing to worry about but I think you should go to the doctor to be on the safe side.

Pregnacare tablets.....pppphhhht! Well - they did not agree with me, mostly due to the iron content which bunged me up and had me doing a poo that I SWEAR has prepped me for the pain of child birth.

And it gets better.

My next poo was how I imagine giving birth to twins to feel. Turns out my first pregnacare poo made me push so hard I got a fissure AND mild piles. SERIOUSLY. I am 5+5, piles are not normal at this stage! Even a little pile! Cue the awful trip to boots and asking the 'discreet' pharmacist if "anusol" was safe to use in pregnancy...."MAUREEN! MAUREEEEEN! The lady wants to check ANUSOL is safe to use in VERY EARLY PREGNANCY!"

In my local boots!

Anyhow ahem my bum is now on the road to recovery. And I'm shunning pregnacare in favour of plain old FA until I can be sure my fibre intake can counteract them.

Slightly worried as I have no symptoms bar extremely tender, painful, swollen tits. I'm also feeling full of rage and stress but that's generally my ragey stressy fiery personality. And I'm more tired than usual, but again, I work longish hours so I don't know.... Roll on 11 June for my 7+5 scan.

Niff hope your scan is all lovely!

And now to kick back and enjoy my alcohol free beer in my tepid bath. How I roll, viroids: how I roll.
