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!

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.

Carrot I LOVE fish finger sandwiches/ wraps so I'm excited for you!
Spoke too soon about the fatigue. I was wiped out yesterday. I had a lie in, a lazy afternoon and then still needed a nap early evening. I've done better today, massive walk with ddog and DH ending up in town, lunch at our favourite Thai place then the train home. Definitely nap time now though.
Enjoy your roast dinners viroids.

De-lurks to ask advice

Hi viroids,

Glad to see everyone is well. Good to hear things are ok Feathered sorry to hear about the sickness though.

I think I'm 6+6 today and I literally feel like I'm bursting out of my bra, it's digging into my back and my boobs feel like they're going to explode. Anyone got any good advice, I thought it would be a way off before this happened but I don't want to be buying a new bra every two mins. Any suggestions on how much to go up in size? Should I refrain for now? As someone who has no boobs this is all out of my comfort zone!! I also feel like my stomach is rounding out already - did anyone have this so early on?

just I bought new bras early on and they have actually stayed ok in terms of cup size and I've just bought extenders to make them bugger around the back. However everyone is different so I can't guarantee the same would work for you! Maybe just get a couple of cheap ones and see how it goes?

Thanks Bat, did you just go up a size back and cup? I don't think I can leave it like this, undoing my bra in work would probably not be acceptable behaviour

Just My norks ballooned in the first couple of weeks. As fa as I can see there is absolutely no bloody biological need for it to happen that soon, but it did. I'm still (just about) managing in bras I already had, although two underwires have ejected themselves in the last week (they do it so steathily!).

Weirdly cup size doesn't seem to have changed - when I was bursting out of mine I thought it was cup size but then same cup size but bigger back worked, I think others have gone up a couple of cup sizes though

Thanks both, I'll go and try a few on and see how it goes. Bat I did think that maybe a bit more room in a bigger back size would be enough for now.

Second the de-wiring sounds like fun, hopefully I'll notice when that happens rather than looking ridiculously lop sided!

Just my boobs have gone from DD to F in 16 weeks.
Sadly, for me, buying a constant stream of bras is inevitable in pregnancy. Luckily, this time I knew to swap to nursing bras ASAP which are much more generous and comfortable and will do for post-baby too.

bat your SIL sounds like a loon. No need for all that jazz

I am still in the same bras as pre pregnancy. They got sore but didn't grow thank god

Wow Thursday that is a big jump. I think I'm just going to embrace the booage situation and play the bras by ear. How soon did you go into nursing bras, I was thinking of going to some without wire because that area seems particularly sore

I went straight into nursing ones this time, they're so much more comfy and I think the lack of underwire gives more flexibility to the cup - and actually now I think about it I might even have started at a D cup!

I think some people boobs just expand much more than others. I got it totally wrong with DS and kept buying normal bras in bigger sizes and out grew them much much quicker.

I can recommend looking in eBay just. I got some old M&S stock from a seller on there for less than half the price.

My boobs aren't anything like as tender this time though

Thanks Thursday! I did read the other day that they aren't as sensitive after the first one because they've already done their stretching etc once. It's all glamour eh?

Mine seem to be more painful this time around. Unless I've just forgotten how bad it was. Don't think so though.

Absolute loving your approach to mat leave Bat, you just take it steady my love. I would be tempted to cook for DH but mostly as he will be returning the favour for the next year 6 weeks.

Just I'm 28 weeks and I've only gone up one cup size so look of the draw I guess. I highly recommend the post surgery bras at M&S, they are amazing for pregnancy. You can always get extenders if your back size goes up.

Sympathies to those of you struggling with fatigue. I was knocked completely flat in the first tri but my energy levels are still going up at the start if the third tri so you will feel better eventually. Still napping at the weekend but managed 40 lengths at swimming this eve so feel like a right hero. This was unthinkable even a couple of weeks ago.

Eris is currently torturing a spider slowly to death. I can't rescue it though because it is quite a big spider.

I bought a maternity sleep bra thing that I wear at home. OMG so glad I did!

Impulse purchased an epi no tonight on ebay. Still new in packaging but some poor lady bought one before finding out she had to have a section. Got it for £67 including post though!

Ooh well done Would!

Happy Monday everyone 6 full weeks to go at work I should really get out of bed...

Wow 6 weeks pud that's crazy!

Great bargain would :) I really want to get one but need to carefully manage finances.

4 days of work then I'm off to Spain for 6 days! Bet it rains.

Ooh Spain, lovely!

6 weeks makes it sound better than it is, I also have a half week which doesn't count and a week and a half of half term which definitely doesn't count so 8 weeks really until I finish. Still not long though!!

Ooh bargain would - love it!

Getting really pissed off with back pain - I'm pretty over being pregnant now but yet I don't really want to have a baby yet! Want to go to the supermarket as I think my body may need some vegetables (it's been a while) but I'm not sure I can walk round! Managed to fall asleep last night instead of lying awake for hours then kept waking with my bloody back and the only thing that eases it is if I sit bolt upright, grrrr. Moan moan moan! Also need to go and buy bras!

Exciting that you're off to Spain jelly - which part?

Ah right pud still super exciting. If I deduct my annual leave I'm due to take I've got 47 days left of work! It's nuts! What date are you finishing?

bat it's about an hour from alicante on the south East coast.

That's exciting pud I have actually got 6 weeks left and that includes a week of annual leave next week so only really 5 at work. They are still figuring out what they want me to do too so I only did 15 hours last week and it could be the same this week.

Jelly I'm jealous! I'd love to go on holiday abroad! We're staying a couple of nights in a hotel next week in Warwickshire which will be nice but it's not quite spain!

You sound like you're in limbo bat! I don't think any of us are truly ready for baby to arrive but I'm sure we all cope admirably so I'd aim for that

jc this is true that we will probably never be ready. So I suppose baby may as well come sooner rather than later! My prediction is 12th Oct though.

I finally craved salad and I've just made such a huge one that I'm absolutely stuffed! I think after last night's dinner of pork scratchings, popcorn and mini dime bars my body finally thought enough is enough!

dinner of champions bat I craved a healthy breakfast the other day, so had fat free yoghurt and fruit. By 10am I was eating my desk I was so hungry. My body needs carbs lol!

Ha I've been living on nothing but carbs and cheese - very weird today though that I'm craving salad and fruit, honestly can't remember the last time this happened! However I did put croutons and a bit of cheese on the salad
