We're pulling pompoms from our fanjos to cheer each other on, breaking beds, twiddling our nipple tassles and counting jeremies! It'll be sneezebirths all round on JSing Grads 34!

[pretzelpieces]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 34th 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 33rd grads fred is here.

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 51st 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.

Oh la i missed your post too but am glad you seem to have sorted your head out a little bit about it. And 2cm is good, it's all progress in the right direction.

Ooh 2cm La, that is good. I think they let you stay in hospital/give you the good stuff at 4cm (is that true?) so not far to go now. And don't be beating yourself up about getting upset and posting in here - you would be the first person to offer support if the tables were turned.

Auf I was secretly hoping for giblets twins too due to a very strong line at 10dpo. Turns out that I was actually 17dpo, hence the line! Have to cross fingers for twins next time though as DH only wants 2 kids and I would like three. So I either need to get upduffed with twins, or have a boy this time and next as he really wants a girl! (Rubs hands together in an evil way and plots to have millions of babies)

La hope you're napping now. I feel really bad for you. You're totally entitled to be fed up. We all feel your pain. Sending virtual hugs as it's the best I can do.

Honey I was a tiny bit gutted that I wasn't having twins. After the MC I was sobbing when I saw the heartbeat at the early scan. But still a tiny bit of me was hoping for 2. Mostly as I'm an older mum so I'd only have to go through it once. As it is I mostly love being pregnant. apart from the jeremies
So I would do it again. It just means I have to save up for another maternity leave

pud I can't believe you're planning for the next one already! Brave lady. Part of me hoped for twins but I'm relieved it's not because the risks are higher and I'm already a worryface mcgee.

la squishes, hope you get good rest. 2cm!

Thanks for the congrats everyone! Did I tell you I dreamt I had a sneezebirth? Wishful thinking! (Although I want it to stay in me for at least another 26 weeks please.)

Yep you have to be 4cm before it's classed as active labour pud - and then they'll admit you.

2cm is brill La you're well on the way. Hope you manage to get some rest and feel a bit better when you surface! Sorry if we've been annoying you with the standard overdue lady platitudes. Just trying to provide comfort, and I do forget that with your other pgs being so close together you have been pregnant for what must feel like ages. The end IS in sight though I think your experience of this long drawn out early labour is much more typical of a first baby than the relative sneeze births we've had recently. xxx

And when I say we .... obvs I mean I x

Oooh pud I like your cunning! I'm keen on 3 but DH wants to stop at two. And he wants a girl! So we can plot together to hoodwink dhs into having loads of babies!

I'm not sure about twins however. I've seen the pictures of what happens to your bump towards the end. It's a bit . One of my colleagues is a few weeks ahead of me with twins. She's tiny but growing VERY rapidly.

Further hugs la. I just feel so sorry for you now. It's fine to be tired, irrational, weepy and hormonal. Wear yourself out feeling sorry for yourself and then have a little nap. I find it works wonders but I do feel a little sheepish afterwards

Minila will be here very soon.

Missed your post earlier La but good to hear you're getting there - 2cms is a good start (for a primip, I'm sure my cervix is permanently 2cms now)

A part of me wanted twins too. They run in our family (my grandma got to 31 weeks, and me - sadly none survived) but frankly I'll take what I'm given now.

I really want to watch OBEM but I don't know if I can

La don't know what you said but [hugs] 2cm is brilliant, you're almost there! Get some rest and some tlc from your OH

pretzel congrats, v cute picture!

With DS I was squatting in the pool leaning on the side. Water is amazing in supporting your body weight. I had no tears at all, but I think it was partly because DS's head was quite small! MWs were also very good in telling to push slowly when the head was born.

So had my gp appt today, but she didn't do the exemption cert form. She said the MW will do it at booking in appt, but last time it was done by the gp Anyone had it done by MW?

Feeling sooo tired today... Had a nap with DS but still feel like simply moving about is such an effort... The house is a bombsite...

I also have to be looking for work and start very soon to qualify for MA... Otherwise we're buggered This is really stressing me out...

carrot can I be a pain and ask if you can remb the circumference of his head? I'm intrigued to relate head sizes to my you've guessed it Epi no

Do you mean the free prescription thing carrot? I had that done by my MW, possibly later than booking apt...? I can't remember for sure, but deffo MW.

BOOM and here's the tiredness.

Anyone want some practise and do DS bath for me please?

Btw I think water reduces tearing chances too. I'm getting in that fucking pool even if I have to share it with a stranger!!

indigo - Minipopz's head cirumference was 35cm at 1 day old.

It's the diameter you need to know indigo
Can't remember if you can't work out diameter from the circumference. Anyone remember pi?

Indigo at sharing birthing pool with stranger!

It was 32cm I think.

Yes, the free prescription thing. I need to see a dentist ASAP

On the bright side, my hair looks awesome

35cm?!?!?!?! And it came out of where?! (faints) one presumes that when you are '10cm dilated' that is the diameter of your lady area? Soooooo a baby with a head diameter of 10cm would be about... 31.4cm? (MATHS BITCHES!!) So you need to keep inflating indigo! (crosses legs)

I told DH that I was keen on a pool birth earlier. He asked if he could get in too, I replied 'by all means, but you might want to get out before you have to start sieving.'

Eugh. Had my first preggo relates vom. I put something in the bin. Which is relatively odourless. But still made me wretch, gave me the five second warning of excessive saliva, and boom. Vom. Luckily made it to the loo. Gross!

About the go to in laws for dinner. Their downstairs toilet is about 1.5m from the dinner table! Will have to make sure the upstairs toilet, which is a jack and Jill adjoined to bil's bedroom is unlocked. (He often locks second door on landing) Bucket on stairs in case I don't make it!

That should read 31.4cm circumference. So if you get to 10cm Indigo, you should be all right with a babycarrot!

I think the way the measure the head is not how it comes out. It comes out at the narrowest part and they measure the widest part.

If you imagine an egg - it comes out pointed end first. Then imagine you are resting the egg onto something, so it's standing at an angle and you measure the top part but the measuring tape goes around it parallel to the surface. Does it make sense?

Pud don't forget the skull bones arent fused. pleads God I think that 35cm is without the bones being overlapped.

I've not got my free prescription thingy, need to get that sorted soon I guess.

I take it from all the OBEM talk there's a new series? I've never really watched it before, I was told it's not very realistic compared to what really happens.

I think I had some ewcm today. Should I shag?

Your cervix is 10cm dilated pud ... not your fanjo But fanjos are very stretchy. And yes, in a good birth they present the smallest part of the head first, tuck their chin in, etc.

Deffo jelly! Shhhhhag

And yes - squidgy heads! Newborns are a bit coneheaded when they're first born.

Impressed with your MATHS BITCHES!!

Ha jelly, why not? I can't even imagine shagging right now, I'd probably vom.

Thursday me too. Today has been loooong. DD has watched more tv than she should. Thankfully dh is on his way home. How many weeks are you? I'm 6 today.
