Waving our pom-poms for the thread that FINALLY welcomes MiniLa, it's carb-tastic, all day sickness and when the hell can I nap? On JS 34!

[ThursdayLast]

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 34th 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.

Second - Downs risk factor screening uses nuchal measurements from your dating scan plus levels of certain hormones in your blood. The bloods are usually taken on the same day as the scan, but its not essential. Needs to be done between 11 and 14+1 weeks otherwise you'd have to have the quad test done instead which isn't quite as accurate.

Congrats to la!

Another one who can't update spreadsheet... Edd 26 March, have DD5 already, 36, London, thinking it is a girl again. Help a sister out?

How to get baby to sleep made me chuckle.

sky just updating now. How many weeks are you and any gender predictions?

Omg I just did the best poo ever! Sorry for the overstate but I feel half a stone lighter now!!

Overshare not overstate

Woo jelly! We prego chicks have to take the poo victories where we can!

Indeed we do! It's been 4 days since my last, I needed it.

Also my boobs are mega vainey!

Christ. You must feel better. I see your veiny boobs and raise you my Enormously spilling out of my clothes boobs. It's actually a little embarrassing!

RDm purple yaaaay for big babies!
indigo they already know they knew about the appt and were so excited to hear what i measured as. I couldn't lie.

I think we're all on there now. Come March babies will be flying out left right and centre - there are 7 of us due in March :D

7?!?!

March is gonna be busy!

On the subject of poo, I always worry that if I push too hard (ie at all!) the baby might come out trust me I'm embarrassed to be writing this down as I'm 17+3, I'm a 27 year old and I actually DID go to school but...is this possible?

Common sense tells me no, but I swear the last two times I've been I have thought the same!

7 in March is loads!! What's scarier for me is that I'll have a 2/3 month old at that point

Don't be scared jc you will be awesome!

indigo all viroid eyes have swivelled towards you now. You are next. Hows your cervix? Ready? I'm so excited!

Haha I used to think that too not anymore he's nearly the size of a newborn

Are cold boobs the worst thing ever? They fecking hurt! probably not the worst thing ever if you had SPD or went through labour etc

Hee hee Looking you can't poo your baby out mostly because it doesn't come out of your bum.

Seriously though, if you think of all the effort that goes into getting your cervix to open (ask La if you are unsure!) then squeezing out a turd is sadly not enough to make this happen. You could considering the constipation good practise for pushing though?!

Tea, that is definitely a 'different' approach. TBF they seem to be quite good where we live so had the booking appt at home at 9 weeks and then scan and bloods were arranged for the same morning but we're in different departments so I guess they could just organise them separately. Bit annoying for you though. We also happened to decline the Downs screening though so it could have been different because of that. Different areas seem to do things quite differently so I wouldn't worry too much.

purple - ooh, if you now have a date for section and I'm a little late, you could have promoted yourself into second place on the list!
indigo - had another go tonight, but still far from confident that I'm measuring it right, despite video. Do you measure the circumference and then use the chart to convert it or measure the diameter? If the latter, do you curve the paper round it or do it flat, with the very edge of the balloon touching the 0cm bit?
I'm really feeling quite clueless about it all ( as you may just have noticed...)

sneaks in and whispers
maybe 8 in March
runs out fearing jinx

Tentative, non-jinxing welcome, 5hell!

I'm 5 weeks 4 days and I think its a girl. I felt really wrecked with DD and this is all very familiar...

country I phoned my local birthing centre as GP doesn't deal with appointments now despite the appointments being in the surgery , they took details and I got a letter through with a date a couple of days later. My booking appointment is when I'm 8weeks exactly - so 2 weeks today!

Sorry to the ladies who think you can poo your baby out, you made me laugh alot!

Welcome 5hell stats?
