Whilst the rest of us chowed down on runny eggs and shellfish, deeply sneezed out a baby!...It's superb scans all around and only the occasional nose-vom on JS Grads 38!

[5hell]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 38th 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 37th grads fred is here

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 53rd 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.

Eeeeeep Purple that is so exciting!!!

Hi Feathered, absolutely lovely to see you here.

Pretzel, you will love your baby, and it will be awesome.

I appear to be nesting at 25 weeks. I know I think the baby is going to come early but this is just silly! The spare room is now very organised though

Went lane swimming tonight. Swim fit was on too which I used to do and is hardcore. So I wimped out an pootled up and down on my tod. But met a woman there who had done swim fit until 3 days before birth! Hardcore!! So I might brave it next week...

Hi Feathered so glad to see you here! Crazy lady testing at 10dpo

feathered we are flinging our arms around you like loons. So good to have you back on here.

Thank you. THANK YOU to everyone who replied to me. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has these worries/it is not a life of inevitable misery.

purple! So so soon now! Huge best wishes for you. I hope your birth is calm and lovely.

Weclome Feathered! So pleased for you!

Purple it's so soon! Yay for purple baby!

Welcome back feathered!

Purple you are having your baby TOMORROW!!!

Good luck with all the various drips and things today Purple! So close now!

I dreamt last night that I rocked up to the MLU in labour at 25 weeks pregnant and no one batted an eyelid, we were all 'Yey were having a baby' etc...

Morning viroids :) purple I'm so stupidly excited for you! Can't wait till tomorrow morning.

My bump felt really tight last night. It wasn't moving or anything just felt like it had tightened up. Could that be BH's?

It could be Jelly (which is fine), or it could be that the baby has kind of rolled to the front. That makes my bump feel hard and stretched.

Putting my winter coat on today, brrrr!!

Winter coat pud?! Call yourself a northerner? I'm in shorts today!

Morning! I am still in bed at the moment. Will prob do administration bits and some cleaning. Exciting day.

Mat leave people.... What are you doing today?

Ah could have been baby moving then thanks!

And pud snap, winter coat is on today. It's freezing!

I haven't got a winter coat that fits so it's not allowed to be too cold yet!

Exciting purple! Counting down hours now rather than days

I'm just trying to drag myself up to get ready for work. So far I've managed a shower but ive had to sit down and rest after it, can see it's gonna be a fun day!

Anyone putting heating on yet? We have for about an hour in the morning yesterday and today.

I've got my mystery appointment today. The one to investigate whether I have an incompetent cervix having had a colposcopy years ago. No idea what they'll do to me, and just remembered there's parking restrictions outside the hospital today so I'll have to get the sodding bus! Also, this'll be my fifth trip to hospital this pregnancy, but the first one on my tod.

No heating on here yet, DP tuts loudly when I mention it.

Woop Purple I'll be ironing my flags today ready for waving in the morning

We put it on for an hour last night. Took the edge off nicely.

We got a new radiator fitted in the living room last week and we've both been too chicken to sort it - so I did it this morning! But it's sunny and love down here this week, so I'll probably have to brave the instructions again to figure out how to turn it down again

Enjoy your last morning of freedom purple!

We've started wearing slippers of an evening and the sofa blankets have come out, but takes a lot for the heating to go on in this house! Tbf not needed it yet, good thick old walls!
Today I shall be clearing the bit of garden which has grown up since our neighbours cut down the hedge (still traumatised). Mat leave has left my garden looking it's best ever! I shall also hoover upstaits, play with my pram to work out how to use it (my mum and I had a hilarious moment last night when I was demonstrating and completely forgot how to get it down) and have a couple of epi no sessions. I also need to go to the library again (were you expecting such a boring answer honey?!)

I got up with dh this morning as it was so lovely, then sat down to read when he left and fell asleep for another hour...now my tummy thinks it's breakfast time, but I already had it :(

There's such a thing a second breakfast mountain I had one of those at the weekend. Sounds like a productive mat leave day.

Hope the hospital goes well tea

I heartily agree with JC, there's always the option of a second breakfast, Mountain. After all, if it's good enough for hobbitses, it's good enough for me.

Of course, by now it should be elevenses!

Thanks Mountain. Reminded me to need to train the wisteria again now it's grown a bit more. Will go and stand in the flower bed for a bit fiddling with it.

mountain dh has been known to have third breakfast!...dont let convention stop you!

do i correctly recall someone on here buying a belly band or two?...not the 'support' kind, just the 'cover up your gaping trousers' kind. had a look on amazon, but reviews and prices are v variable so struggling to decide...any recommendations?

Twas me 5hell

I bought a size 16 from Asos (part of a pack with vest and leggings), fit more like a size 20 so went back. Then ordered a medium from Matalan (£5), was too small to get over me arse. Have to take that back for a large

Can't say I had much luck with bump bands.. I certainly wouldn't have trusted them to hold up my trousers! Went straight for the mat trouser option.

I resisted the second breakfast had some sugar free digestives instead getting scared of how big this baby is supposed to be now!

DD has gone to school and I should be working. I have flashes of inspiration then get tired and feel overwhelmed... When will it end?! 12 weeks on Weds...
