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.

Molly what made you suddenly delurk?

Indigo - you're after Fleur, why don't you do next thread?

I have been making faces and passive aggressive comments. All in jest, of course.

Hello Molly a 1yo and 15 weeks pg! How are you finding it?

DH & I have been out for the most enormous meal - home now with a cuppa, rock and roll eh??

I hate every buggy and/or stroller we've ever had - I think I'm gonna have to spend big this time. I spent all the money on baby carriers with DS

Wow that is bad DH behaviour Honey, LTB immediately and take the wine.

Hi Molly, welcome! Feel free to share your crazy dreams, nothing is TMI here! How are you feeling? I am a week and a half ahead if you.

Can you have a sip honey? I used to have just the tiniest amount and it was lovely :)

I definitely had the occasional sip in the first tri (waits to see if any pearl clutchers de lurk...)

I miss wine less now that I have discovered non - alcoholic beer. I guess I still feel like I am having a drink on a Fri night.

Welcome molly, that's first rate lurking! glad you have decided to delurk now.

Tonight I went out for a friend's birthday and I asked for my steak well done. It was charred on the outside but still pink inside. Not bloody. DP said it was okay and I ate it but now I'm worried. Isn't it supposed to be not pink at all? Or can it be pink but still cooked? Agh. I've only been eating meat for a year so I don't know about this stuff. Also don't trust DP he didn't even know what folic acid was.

la are you in labour yet? I know dulcet is before you but I've got an inkling you'll go first!

on the subject of inklings, I've decided I'm pg but it's too early to test and I have no idea if I've even iced as AF not back yet after baby, we have been careful (and not even DTD that much) but weren't careful once, and...well..you remember when I got my BFP I just had a feeling and tested 10 DPO for no reason at all, I've got a feeling....gulp, but I'm not mentioning it. Oh no. If I don't mention it it'll be ok!

Don't panic pretzel that sounds fine- if it's heated all the way through it will be ok.

I had a lovely big bowl of mussels which I didn't think I could have last time mmmmm

Pretzel don't worry I'm sure it's fine

Zyla - eeeeeeeeek!!!!! squeals excitedly

No labour here, all rumblings have vanished. Fleur might pip us to the post you never know!

Pretzel, different camps say different things about steak cooking. The 'risk' is contracting toxoplasmosis for a microscopic parasite (I think) called toxoplasmodia. The risk is small, and most likely to occur in undercooked pork I believe. You may already be immune to it anyway. My MW said that I would feel unwell if I contracted it and I think maybe they can give you a truck load of drugs at that point. (Please correct me if I am wrong here Viroids). I really, really wouldn't worry about it, the steak had been heated through and the risk is v small anyway, so try to relax if you can!

Also on the reassurance front - I am crampy (again) at 17 weeks. My book says that Christmas Pud is having a growth spurt, so I presume it is just that?

Mmmmm mussles. In a white wine sauce s with crusty bread. Yum!

Pretzel don't worry, as long as it was a reputable restaurant and was well sealed around the outside. Should be fine.

One sip is not enough. It's an all or nothing sort of wine.

you are all very sensible. I am not and the NHS website says cook meat until no pink remains and that you can have toxoplasmosis with no symptoms. I wish I'd sent it back for them to cook more. I could have easily done that and then I wouldn't have to be worrying now. Bollocks. And why do I always let DP reassure me when he's blasé about everything.

I can't face the prospect of a 4.30am wake up and no one to talk to...

Join me - don't let me be lonely!

But only when this is full of course.

Zyla!! Get thee back to the undergrads and POAS

Steak is toxo risk. It is crashingly rare in the UK. Endemic on the continent - but I'm still negative. They test you for it monthly here...

Zyla POAS!

zyla!!!! You've kept that one quiet over on the other thread. POAS!!!

Caught up now.

Zyla, POAS FFS! We don't get to say that much over here now but come on, don't leave us hanging!

I'm having my baby tomorrow anyway, that's what I agreed.

It's too soon to POAS! Make me do it in another week ;) it's probably fine, just a thought in the back of my mind is all.

What what WHAT Zyla!?!?

Yes Dulce tweaking is supposed to be The Best Thing for it.... (Or pumping, but frankly who could be arsed!)

indigo I feel that woman's pain! When my 'waters' went 8 whole weeks ago it felt very much like a mega gush. All that piss and discharge can take a lady by surprise! I am.aware though that when they go for real now people will presume I've wet me knicks again!

purple I'm the same!! Mine is at my MILs and I'm not allowed it!! Stupid stupid superstitious nonsense, give me it NOW

zyla WTF?!?! That's crazy, POAS for deffo!

la I don't feel grown up enough to do it, let's make fleur do it and I'll do the next one

I get the last post!
