After welcoming the Batlet, we're ready for Halloween, our bellies full of candy and almost nothing green! With accidentally bald fanjos, never-ending nausea, and delinquent babies, it's JS Grads 40!

[pretzelpieces]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 40th 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 39th grads fred is HERE.

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 55th 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.

Halfway for me today, hurrah!

Have celebrated with an early morning swim followed by a ginormous bowl of cinnamon and sultana porridge. Yum!

Any idea why swimming makes minitea wriggle so much? I wondered if it was to do with sound travelling more under water...but I'm likely over thinking it

Being in a bumpy car make country bean wriggle a lot

Congrats on halfway Tea, it seems to all speed up in the second half! Baby pud loves a swim too, I think it is because the bump gets to stretch out so baby has a bit more room to wiggle about.

Yay for 20 weeks Tea!

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like everyone's pregnancy is going much faster than mine. So many people are turning 20 weeks... How am I still only 22 weeks?! Weird!

Congrats on halfway tea!

honey I think cause I was so ill to start with, I felt like I'd been pregnant forever when March madness happened and now all those people are turning 20 weeks I feel like I should be nearly done! Could it be to do with your sickness? Makes the time go even slower.

Half term. Off to visit the outlaws. Hips are killing me, pray 4 pretzel in the long car journey.

I think the second half draaaaaags after the second scan!

Congrats on 20 weeks Tea!

Can you sit on a cushion Pretzel?

Won an ikea poang chair on Ebay for £36. Boom. Just need to recover the cushion now.

Having a nap but cannot be faffed with the rigmarole of undressing and redressing. So I'm just going to sleep with all my clothes on. Classy.

Yes, I guess being due at end of Feb, I am probably going to be part of the march baby festival! We're all atvtge same point roughly!

Keep being sick before I have a chance to take my cyclizine. Very annoying but at least it's just bile and not chunks. although I did projectile vomit chunks the other day. In the loo, thankfully.

Oh balls I was gonna bring a cushion but I forgot it. Dream genii is on the back seat but not really the right shape eh.

Nice eBaying pud! I napped in all my clothes yesterday. Office clothes. Lol

honey Ugh poor you, I hope you get some respite soon

So at the scan yesterday the woman said she was happy with everything. I have to go back for further measurements as baby was being stubborn. When she measure the placenta she said it was a little smaller than they look for she wasn't worried. She then said they can go through growth spurts of their own and they'd also check again at the next scan. She told me not to worry. Although yesterday I was fine today I'm freaking the funk out! If she wasn't concerned why did she bother mentioning it?

Probably so you don't read the report at home then spend hours scaring yourself with Dr Google.

Sounds like nothing to worry about Country. HCP are super risk averse with most things but especially babies. If there was something to worry about you would have been told and be pit on some kind of care pathway. Remember to breathe.

Honey I have visions of your projectile vomiting being like the scene from Downton Abbey last week. Which was amazing/ridiculous. Did not see that coming! Sorry you are feeling so rough still, you must be so over it.

P.s. waiting for DH/DBro/DSIL to get back for lunch. It's 3.45pm!!!!! And I haven't had lunch. What. The. Actual. Eff.

Pud watch the rugby. Those yummy Maori's will distract you.

Rip pud. Such a shame.... I could have shared my chocolate waffles with you

Thanks for talking me down. I don't think she even made a note of it in my notes to be honest

Eat pud you wally! Fuck em!

We made it here. I am in pain! Hotel reception guy made fun of my dream genii when we checked in.

Hope you used it to wallop him round the face Pretzel

Ate lunch. Survived. Now having a lie down to recuperate.

Haha pud

Glad you survived your epic starvation marathon.

Try not to worry country. There was something she pointed out about mini pretzel's heart and noted it on my paperwork but she said it's nothing to worry about. There's bound to be variation within a safe range.

Morning all, everyone ok?

Morning Thursday, how are you doing?

I slept until 6am this morning, which was 7am yesterday. Amazing! Then the chuffing cat woke me up. I'm sure she is trying to train us for having a baby!

Off to my favourite ever restaurant today, it's soooooo lush but rather posh. Unfortunately I cannot fit much food into my stomach at the moment and I don't think they will let me take in a gym ball to sit on so I can fit in more food!

I was dreaming about climbing last night (I used to climb a lot), I really miss it. I am still swimming exercise wise but that is it. I figure that even if DH takes baby for walks when it is little I won't be able to swim for 6 weeks or so due to the world falling out of my vagina. I won't be able to climb much straight away due to my core being non existent either (ironically swimming would be good for this!) Anyone got any experience with post natal exercise? I know, I will probably be exhausted and not care but I would like to have a plan in place incase I do care!

Morning grads! Who's next to go pop? How are you all?

Pud I do postnatal classes - the hypopressive method is meant to be excellent for pulling everything back into place. I'm doing an intensive 4 week mummy rebuild course then will start postnatal Pilates and hips bums tums

I had a EMCS pud but was back jogging at about 5 weeks post partum. Very slowly obviously, but I really needed it mentally! Having a newborn is super hard work, so making the time to do something for yourself is v important IMO.

There's DVDs you can do as well for when you can't get out, or for something different.

I always loved running because it meant I couldn't interfere with what DH was doing with DS. And that in turn meant they found their own way with one another.

Morning La, I will Google the hypopressive method thanks. Gliding and RDM are imminent then Lemon. Then there are loads of us due Dec/Jan, there will be babies flying out everywhere!

Running sounds lovely Thursday, and I could always go for a walk in the early days and call it a run ha ha! Physio said not to start exercising until 8 weeks but I don't think I can wait that long...

Niff how is Thailand?

JC are you feeling any better?
