It's sneeze birth's galore thanks to our fanny stretchers! We're soaking in piss and praying for Bat's hospital bag. We're avoiding our mens 'Annie Sloaners' and eating all the cake! It's JS Gras 39!

[jellypi3]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 39th 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.

I get that too jelly! So weird.

Have poked Country (tee hee) on FB.

Not had vibrations Jelly but today ickle pud seems to be trying to exit my uterus front and centre. Like in Alien. Not massively comfortable.

22 weeks is ace Pretzel, glad you are feeling movements now!

Do we know if any of the grad grads took shared parental leave? Starting to consider it more but not sure about the ins and outs. Can't imagine work will know, they don't even have a maternity policy!

Thanks, thought it might need solicietering! DH a bit more...laissez faire about life, I'll tell him the wise ones of JS have spoken!

Thursday no it wasn't a sweep, just unnecessary fingering so I'm glad I dodged it!

The midwife had a feel to see how dilated I was during labour. It bastard wrecked!
molly I need to get a will written up soon too. They aren't expensive I dont think.
Got me a steam mop/steam cleaner today. Cleaned my patio doors. Soooooo satisfying.

For fucks sake Ga, you've just had a baby! Stop. With. The. Cleaning!

Or at least come and do mine instead.

I was the only person at Daisy Birthing again today. We did the escalator breath.

ga you do more cleaning than me and I haven't just had a baby. Today I cleaned the bathroom floor for the first or second time in a year. Gross.

(I am trying to improve.)

Ha ha Pretzel, love it!

Honey that must be weird being at Daisy on your own. We have a class of 7 which is quite big apparently. Enjoying it so far though.

I'm not doing daisy but escalator breath sounds amusing

Gosh, I'm not sure how I'd cope doing something like Daisy on my own! I'd be very self conscious!

We had 9 at my daisy class last night! In quite a small room so it was cosy. I used escalator breath when I was up all night the other night with horrible abdominal cramps and diarrhoea

We had four at my daisy last night! I love the escalator breath though my teacher has given us little stickers to put on our notes as apparently loads of midwives think you're hyperventilating and try and stop you! Have briefed DH!

ga tried using a steam cleaner once. Dripped water everywhere and made more mess than I started with. Sense I was doing it wrong.

Maternity allowance claim has been approved, WOOHOO! That'll buy the extortionate double pushchair!

Mum much better last night and this morning. Maybe she sensed she's been overdoing it a bit or maybe I'm just a massive mess of irrational pregnant hormones

morning all, here's a little funny from a friends son to brighten your thursday...

son, "This number tablet is brilliant!"
mum, "It's a calculator-we had them when I was in school."
son (confused face) "Then why do we still learn to add? Look you put in 7+7 press = and it does it for you!"

at what point do i need to think about/book classes? and how do i decide which to do?

haha 5hell that is brilliant!! made me giggle

We booked ours at about 14 weeks, because we chose to go with NCT. The reason is we are moving to a totally new area so we wanted to meet people there, and it wasn't extortionate where we are going to (£180 quid). I know nearer london it's a lot more. I don't know about booking daisy or NHS ones, sorry.

Morning viroids.

Jelly I had vibrations with DS. Really weird sensation. I could find explanation on Google but apparently it's normal.

Yay for MA Molly. I have to start working next week to be eligible which won't happen. Sod's law I'll get a job a week or two after.

Sorry but I need to have a bit of a rant. Had an interview this morning and yesterday evening DP started asking about it. He then went on to look up the company and starting to have a go at me why I'm applying for a job in some small shitty firm, I should be looking at big companies that have good opportunities. As if I can be picky at this stage! I got so upset I just went to bed and cried myself to sleep He then apologised for being out of order but it was a little too late. DS woke up at 2.20 am so once I sorted him out I couldn't get back to sleep for ages as it was all playing on my mind. Job search when pg is just so fucking stressful, the last thing I need is him being a twat about it!

Going home now and will eat all the chocolate.

Oh carrot that's rough, can't imagine the stress of it (I get mine because I stopped working within the right time frame so different situation) Don't know what you're looking for but would recruitment agencies help or are you looking at them anyway? I believe you can get other sources of help if you don't qualify so well worth investigating if not

Aww carrot that does sound rubbish - hope he just spoke without thinking and just said it because he is worried about you settling for something you won't be happy in - but at the same time he needs to understand the pressure you feel as well.

I'm watching the first ever episode of OBEM and there's a husband on there that is making me so angry, the lady has him and their 18 year old son (which is a bit weird) in the room and they are both laughing at her and the husband is being so childish!

Oh Christ now the son is watching the baby actually coming out

Lol Bat, do you not think you'd want to flash your gash to your 18 yo son?

Carrot what a thoughtless knob.

Oh and Daisy on your own is quite scary.

carrot your DP needs a jiffy.

honey must be intense one on one! I guess you get one to one for the price of a class though but I would find it awkward! I'm nervous about starting daisy next week.

I remember that episode bat! I thought it was WEIRD having the son in but maybe they were trying to put him off? I actually quite liked the husband, but I always like a bit of arsing around to lighten the mood in hospital!

Yes bat, I know he means well and wants me to do well. It's just the way he phrased it was quite thoughtless and insensitive. I'm also being extra sensitive and hormonal myself.

Omg I haven't seen that episode! Jeez

carrot I've had arguments with my hubby because he has been trying to show he cares in his own way but has communicated it in totally the wrong way. Funnily enough our worst argument was over me job hunting too. I was dragging my heels with looking for a new job even though I absolutely hated mine and I had totally lost confidence and didn't know where to start. I promised myself and him that I would put my efforts into it after I had thyroid surgery which was in Jan last year. So I was at home recovering from surgery feeling all sorry for myself and wanting him to tell me I was brave and look after me and spoil me - and he sends me a calendar invite to keep a weekend free a couple of weeks later. So I think oooh how lovely he understands my needs and has booked us a romantic weekend away. So I get all excited and pester him to tell me what we are doing.....and he sends me an email entitled 'career boot camp' which has a shit load of info about how he is going to sit down with me and help me overhaul my CV, identify people to meet with and loads of other stuff. Now after we had a massive argument big chat about it I can see that this was his way of showing he cares because he had actually put loads of effort into this action plan and wanted to give up a weekend to support me through it because I had been putting it off for so long. But I was absolutely gutted as it was so not what I had expected from the 'keep the weekend free' invite. And he was absolutely gutted that he had upset me so much as he had thought he was doing a lovely thing! It was all a bit horrible and total miscommunication! They do mean well but can be totally twatty about how they put it across!
