We're growing babies, stomach beards and nipple pubes - it's pregnancy glamour galore with humongous tits, medicinal prunes and praying for poo on JS Grads 37!

[honeysucklejasmine]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 37th 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 36th grads fred is here

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 52nd 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.

Sorry for delay - DM was round to check out pushchair and chat.

Enjoy!

Hurray for new Fred

PHEW thank goodness for someone with an actual computer!!

This is going to sound ridiculous but I'm really sad today because our best friends might be splitting up I am surprised at how sad I am, I've had a horrid feeling in my stomach all day and feel like I have to sort it out but I don't know how!! I can't let it happen, they're great together and it doesn't make sense. I'm having a catch up with her on Wednesday because it's all just so weird and I don't understand what's going on, keeping everything crossed that they can sort things out, he has booked for them to see someone to talk things over. We were going to ask them to be temporary guardians in the event of something happening to us here as someone would need to look after the child until family could get here. I'm just gutted for them and can't imagine them not being ok

Oh bat! I'm so sorry, that is very upsetting. Hope they can work it out.

I am eating grapes and watching Come Dine With Me. Rock and roll.

What did I say?! Don't leave me on the old fred with no link! Honestly.

Thanks for the fred honey

bat that's a real shame. I feel like that when couples whose relationships I admire split up. I feel like it shakes my faith in the longevity of relationships!

5hell good luck tomorrow

I know, she has been speaking to me about how she has been unhappy but the things she was saying just seemed like a bit of a rough patch and that they needed to communicate and learn to understand each other as she is a very emotional person and he is the opposite but it all just seemed like something that would blow over, I'm completely gobsmacked that she has been telling him she thinks it is over, feel like I can't let it happen!

Come dine with me and grapes sounds like a pretty awesome night to me!

We start baby school antenatal classes on fri and they've emailed saying that to week 2 we should wear trousers as we will be practising birth positions - this is really something that happens in real life and not just in the films?! Sounds awful! Can't they just show us pics?

Phew, found you, was bereft there for a while...

Sorry about your friends bat. We never know what really happens in others' relationships, but if they are great together maybe they just need some time to sort their heads out?

Ha ha Bat that sounds interesting!

Sorry Pretzel, it was mountain. Naughty mountain.

Thanks for the new Fred honey

We went to Bermondsey for lunch at a street food market today. I don't know why I keep trying to do things outside the home. I have no energy and there's piles of laundry and the porcelains haven't been cleaned for ages... I guess we will be those people with lots of kids and a messy house

Yeah I think there must be more than she has been telling me, maybe she hasn't been admitting it to herself even but she says it is her that is unhappy and unsure so I'm hoping we can have a good chat on Wednesday and maybe she will tell me more. It would make sense if it was one of the other couples we are good friends with where he is a bit of a shit and treats her pretty crap and never prioritises her and all she does is moan about him being useless. But this is just all wrong. But anyway what will be will be I guess and I probably can't change anything but I just hope it isn't too late and fingers crossed a bit of time and them talking to someone will make a difference. I'm so gutted I feel like it's my parents splitting up!!

I've just told XH. We've talked to our families and exes this weekend in advance of telling the children. This is because we expected DPs XGF to go mental. She was fine but my XH looked devastated and stared at the floor. I feel just awful. I really thought he would be fine...

Aww sky I'm sorry about the reaction you got Do you still have a good relationship with him?

Yes, we are really friendly and share custody of DD. Talk all the time and get along great. We were much better friends than lovers and since we split up we have gotten along much better. Our marriage was awful. I drank every single night and he was smoking all the time we had terrible scenes and were both sad and lonely and our sex life was awkward and awful. I guess I've always told myself we are both happier now but his reaction makes me wonder if that is really true. He is a lovely person I hate the thought of him hurting

Sky whatever you do, don't feel guilty that you are moving on with your life.

Found you!

Phew I found you!

Boo! Found you I wrote a long post on the old Fred earlier which disappeared into the Mumsnet abyss. I can't even remember what it said but if it looks like I've ignored anything major I apologise.

Bat I hope your friends sort things out, it's always sad when relationships break down. Hopefully you can help your friend sort her feelings out.

I don't know what's going on with me today, I feel sick and fed up. DP has been in work every day for too long and I'd love some help but can't complain that he has a job. I wish he didn't do 10-12 hour days though. I'm being a right grump here and not even an egg custard tart cheered me up. Stupid hormones.

At what point am I supposed to have my hospital bag packed? I don't have most of the stuff yet but just wondering if I'm behind. I appreciate some of you viroids don't even have roofs on your houses and I'm worrying about a lack of maternity pads but that's just me at the moment

Thanks for new Fred Honey!

rhiannon I don't have bag packed yet - in fact I tried to buy maternity pads yesterday and in the pharmacy could only get a pack of 10 for 8 quid But then in the supermarket there was a pack of 20 for 2 quid but they were an unnamed brand and said maternity/incontinence pads so I wasn't sure how good they would be as thought those 2 would be different things?! And mothercare is out of stock. I have a bag and a feeding nightie and that's basically as far as I've got.

Thanks honey and bat

Rhi I don't know, I'm starting to wonder if I should have mine started. So far it's a primark bag with the new massive nightshirt, pair of large pjs, and massive black pants that I bought a few weeks ago.
Sorry you've been feeling pants. It must be bad if custard tarts don't work. I'm fed up with my DH working long days too basically I need him here to do all the jobs so I can remain on the sofa and he can bring me food

Bat sorry about your friend. It's horrid when people you care about go through bad stuff. I know that's very general but tis true.

thanks bat, I don't have a bag yet but I have 80 breast pads and 3 nighties. I do have 3 sleepsuits and 3 vests and some nappies but this isn't enough for Minime for a single afternoon let alone a couple of days. I have never heard of incontinence pads that double as maternity pads, I've always used supermarket cheapies but with disposable briefs so I don't have to deal with a bag of laundry that resembles a murder scene at any point. Whatever happens the aftermath isn't pretty but 'chuck it all out and move on with your life' is my policy where possible.

Sky hopefully he'll be able to get excite for you when your DD gets excited to have a little sibling and he can join in with some of it that way? It's great you get along.

Toast sorry cross posted there but I can relate to your needs both to remain seated and to have food brought to you. That doesn't happen to me nearly enough. It looks like us October viroids are at about the same stage of packing and that must mean we're all doing it right

Haha murder scene panties!

sky try not to be too upset, this is your life now, dpnt let him get you down x

Thanks for the new Fred honey love the title x
