Breathing through the scanxiety, putting all our faith in Jill and fantasising about illicit paddling pools and fanjo fans - it's JS grads thread 32!

[LaLaLaaaa]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 32nd 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 50th 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.

Thanks for the info chat. Hope you're doing ok.

La, Melba toast is a girl baby - at least, we saw no dangly bits at 20 week scan so we're going with that plan for now. If someone could update stats that'd be lovely.

Pom poms ready and raring to shake.

Thanks chat how are you doing?

toast will do!

Had saveloy and chips from chippy. Eugh, the saveloy was repulsive! Soft and crumbly! I even tried poaching it and it didn't help. The skin was all saggy and soft. Eugh. Left it.

Saveloy should be crisp and firm, right?

Thanks chat I am also worried about this. Other than baby movement does anyone know what else I should be looking out for?

Baby movements have been normal today.

A crumbly saveloy is not even something I can imagine. I can't even comprehend what could happen to a sausage to make it crumble, but I am sure whatever it was is best avoided by pregnant viroids Honey

man saveloys are my idea of hell

La I am excited for you but I will miss you when you graduate! I know hope you will still hang around, but I've heard that one can be quite busy post birthage?

Honey, I can't advise as I have never had a saveloy. (wonders if Honey lives in Victoria times?) Sorry that you felt so sick today.

LOL, Indigo now is time to embrace the fanny de bucket!

Right Viroids, I'm 17 weeks and got sent home from work today as I felt so rubbish/exhausted/dizzy. I could cry. Where is my magical second trimester? I have so much to do on the house/garden over the summer and I can hardly stand up, and I really want to be able to exercise. Woe. Is. Me. I am hoping that when I get to the holidays 5 more get ups I will start to feel better. I have been doing two people's jobs since Sept so I am hoping that some of the exhaustion is down to that, super frustrating though. Getting up several times a night to keep Eris going for 3 weeks hasn't helped either. Iron levels were good at 12 weeks and BP is fine so don't think it is medical. Sorry, just needed to rant. AND DH is going to be getting a talking to about pulling his weight around the house! Meeeeeeeh.

I'm doing okay thanks, some days good - others not so much. You never quite know what is going to hit you or when (or why). Muddling along though, and shagging plenty.

Movements are the biggest clue we have, Fleur - it's why I might be a bit insistent that you get everything unusual checked out. If I ever get into this club again, I'll be living on the CTG permanently though. Stuff the housework

Yes, I left it Rhi, it was vile.

Viroids I just drove on my own for the first time and it was terrifying

Ooh la how exciting! Good luck! [pom poms]

Oh that made me momentarily jealous then honey, but not so much after the description. As a former chip shop employee I can confirm that a saveloy should have a firm outter and a soft inner. Should be something substantial there when you bite. Think it was there all afternoon maybe?

Thanks chat, it would be better if there was more standardisation across countries. Term being 42 wks elsewhere confuses me as how can it be that different. Hoping we don't get that far anyway. Glad you are getting your shag on. Hoping you get a result soon!

Aw, sorry you feel shit pud! I don't think any of us can promise you a second trimester glow but hopefully it will get easier if your workload gets better and you can get DH to pull his weight. Is it a relaxing holiday you have planned or an active one?

Yay for driving pretzel! Did you go far?

I haven't stopped driving either fleur. Wouldn't have even thought to if another friend hadn't said her husband stopped her after 37 wks. If DH tried to stop me he wouldn't get his errands run!

I bought that Ben and Jerrys with cookie core. Uh oh!!

I am so gutted. Saveloy and chips is one of my favourites but rarely have it.

It was like pâté wrapped in soft skin. It was warm through, but eeeeuuugh!

I drove to the hospital to be induced at 41 weeks last time around. So, upnless you're in enough discomfort to hinder your concentration there's no need to stop driving.

DH did cut down his drinking from about 38 weeks though just in case

Also, you've made me realise that I don't think I even know what a save lot should be like . Is it what's in a battered sausage, coz I luuuurve those.

DH and I are going out for dinner tomorrow evening, to a fancy bistro place. My parents are taking DS for the night. Cannot WAIT

Mwahahaha just got IDed at the Co-op. That has cheered me right up!! #inmythirties

#stillgotit #teenagepregnancychic

Saveloys are a southern thing. Battered sausage are definitely different
I've no idea what saveloys should be like from a chippy, I ate one years ago but can't remember much!

Silver cross Pioneer in chilli red La, I chose it when we first got the bfp and I haven't wavered since. I can't find anything I like more.

Had a look at the mothercare sale but we don't need much now. Should probably stock up on lansinoh and breast pads

Had a massage today, felt more chilled then the shit hit the fan at work 5 more weeks to work thank feck

Ooh and yay for driving pretzel, how do you feel now?

indigo go on lass! Well done on the fanjo stretch! Mines like a wizards sleeve. When this next bairn is out I'm asking for extra 'husband' stitches.

la the solicitors was ok ish. I'm supposed to be completing the new house purchase on Monday. It ain't gonna happen so I'm in limbo land. Meh.

ga just as well your DP has a massive cock then

Too right! Any less and it would be like throwing a hot dog into the tyne tunnel.

You two are brilliant.

LOL at your bucket fanny Indigo.

Heh! You ladies crack me up.

Have been out for another walk. Baby does feel a bit lower but we shall see.

honey I entirely blame you for the fact dh and I just had a chippy tea

Wizards sleeve
My pelvic floor isn't strong enough for you lot

Bloody arm is really sore now, it's bruised and achy
