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.

Thank you, you bunch of legends. Good to know I'm not the only one not eating quinoa salads and omega rich proteins.

although I did stomach half a fish finger sarni just now

Had to take the afternoon off work, citing my cold. I'm working at home today so could have tried to sneak it off, but wouldn't have relaxed if I'd done that.

Now. Can I stomach catching up with GBBO? I think that's a pretty good test of my nausea tolerance.

Cannae wait to be on this thread good and proper. Roll on another 6 weeks!

Aww feathered hope you feel better soon. It was about 14 weeks for me when I stopped feeling sick.

Bat you're not a bloody prisoner. I wouldn't go anywhere more than an hour from a hospital and I'd prob ably put your hospital bag in the car or what you have of it if you're anxious about it. But going out for brunch is fine FFS some people are idiots. Most first babies are late anyway

Oh feathered, your post has reminded me just how far I've come in terms of sickness! It will get better I promise, and can't offer better advice than you've already had here.

I will say though, stop lurking! The early days are some of the toughest, and we are wonderful support . Every pregnancy must be treated as if it will go on and on and on...

Urgh, struggling with low BP at the mo. MW said it was normal at this stage and will start to go back up soon. Anyone know how long this will last for? Realises there are not actually many grads ahead of oneself now, Eep! Maybe I should watch scary films or something to get BP up?!

Sorry pud can't help - I've only ever had high BP

feathered - "cannae wait"? Are you a fellow jock?

Good to hear from you feathered

pud mine's on the low side too, but I don't have any useful advice I'm afraid and sounds like yours is causing you more trouble

I'm feeling mini pretzel move now, which is reassuring (though not a pleasant sensation physically - squirmy!). Also I keep buying things! I bought two pairs of gorgeous boots this week, someone cut my debit card in half please.

Feathered I may still be throwing up, but the nausea has gone. Now it's just "5 second warning; puke" which is soooooo much better than feeling shit all day! It turned to this style at about 14 weeks.

Ooh Yey for movements and buying small adorable things Pretzel! Got another nearly new sale tomorrow and this time DH isn't coming so I can buy all the small adorable things that we don't actually need, YEY!!!

pretz are you shopping for yourself, or bump? :)

yay, another lurker has revealed themselves! hi feathered
I wouldn't worry about your diet too much...amongst the cake I found cucumber and grapes quite refreshing and palatable when feeling rough, if you want to try and squeeze in something fresh.

I was unexpectedly tired in the early days, but generally a bit better now at 13w3d - or i'm just getting used to it?! except today, shattered today!

Thinking about attempting a shag but I'm concerned in case mr bat finds me repulsive and feels forced into it! He has always been a bit of a pesterer but hasn't for ages and says it's because he doesn't want to pressure me if I don't feel up to it but what if it's just that he doesn't want to?? Hmm.

You're over thinking bat!
Go see Mr bat right now

Doing birth story now. I'll put it on Facebook.

Maybe he thinks there's no point now I've achieved 8.75cm on the epi-no, probably thinks he won't touch the sides

Go for it Bat, of course he doesn't find you repulsive!
Shell, sorry for the slow reply. I've had a busy day, didn't even manage to fit in a nap! I'm 9 weeks today, think the fatigue might be easing slightly.
Feathered the grass is always greener- I stressed myself out for at least a week before my scan because I hadn't had much nausea at all! I think pregnancy requires a lot of extra carbs. In my normal life too much wheat makes me bloated and gross but I'm not having that problem any more. Even embraced the double carbs for dinner yesterday!
Love the idea of a shaggers' investment fund! Epi no, perineal massage oils...

Haha bat what is it they say? Like rolling a sausage down a corridor?? ;)

You will be so proud of me viroids. I went out for dinner with the bestie tonight and had steak that WAS NOT WELL DONE!!! (I'd never tell dp however). I was proud of myself.

I'm home alone all weekend, dp is at a stag party. What should I do???

bat 8.75?! That's great! I went up in those increments in the later stages too - 0.5 is too much at once. Bet you'll be at 9 within the next few days!

Jelly eat some prawns and a bit more steak.

Have a glass of wine in bed with a good book jelly?
Or starfish in the middle of the bed?

Sounds like you had a lovely evening! I've been watching strictly, trying to make one beer last an hour...

Prawns Jelly, all of the prawns!!

My cat is purring at me in a passive aggressive manner. Apparently I am not petting her enough.

Now she's hitting me with her tail.

I'm sure my body is 'preparing for motherhood' by waking me up at 5am every day, but I really wish it wouldn't bother!! Meh. I'm off to finish my (online) Xmas shopping instead of lying in bed trying to pretend to be asleep.

Hello !

Wanted to say hi to feathered! I had MS from 7.5-14 weeks and it's a butch but also reassuring and I missed it when it went! I do remember feeling permanently hungover. Yuck! Lots of fluids, salt n vinegar crisps and stodge

Bat did you get your shag?

I was out and about still at 41.5 weeks pg and folk were getting really nervous when I was around!

No la - shagging attempt was a bit of a disaster. Mr bat blatantly didn't want to (v weird for him) but I think would have done if i had made him.....came up with lots of different excuses - tired, it was late, didn't want to hurt me, didn't want to hurt the baby, didn't want to bring on labour, it was a surprise that I wanted to (surprises usually good where shagging is concerned), it didn't feel very romantic that I just said did he want to......so I translated all of this into him not wanting to touch me with a bargepole and cried myself to sleep We had a chat about it this morning as I was in a mood and he promises it was no other reason than the 50 or so he gave me last night - I am useless at talking about how I feel so I didn't actually say well I feel like a big fat whale and I'm worried you think I am too. He also said he had read about pregnancy sex and that libido can either go crazy or totally disappear and as I hadn't seemed to want it he hadn't wanted to pressure me - but I still feel like he just doesn't want to because I'm gross. So now I feel like we are never going to have sex again and am grouchy mood that I can't snap out of
