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.

yeah i know someone who does roller derby in shanghai, she loves it!

tri i know someone in their mid 30's who just started rugby :)

Eeewwwww to the window fitter doing a poo in your toilet Feathered! Although better than doing a poo on your carpet I suppose

Jelly I see your 36 days and raise you 15 working days left. YES!! (Please excuse my massive smug face)

Roller Derby sounds amazing!

Half term here so back to DIY central. The more pregnant I get the worse my fine motor skills seem to get. Lots of wobbly lines.... oops. Last big room that I am painting now though, thank chuff.

15 days must feel amazing pud, has your cover started yet?

i'm looking forward to painting the nursery when we finally fecking move but i can imagine my DIY skills are going to be poor!

7 working days till mat leave here!

jelly I'm terrible at decorating. That's why my family are all coming up this weekend. They are going to paint the lounge and hallway for us and fit a new bathroom sink unit. They did the nursery last time they came up. They are awesome

67 ish days for me ....

Ha, love that we are all counting down! Jelly my teaching cover started in September which is beyond awesome. My management cover has just been appointed so can do handover over the next 3 weeks.

Ooh not long left Pud.
Molly 4 wheels are easier to stand up on for sure but actually trickier to skate on until you get the hang of the weird leg movements required. They look really cool though and that's what counts.
Viroids, I need a hooyah. Found out that SIL is pregnant and it's really bugging me. Partly because she's due just a few days apart from us and she lives near the family whereas we don't so her baby will be the one being cooed over I'm not even particularly close to DH's family and I don't like people fussing over me so I don't understand this feeling. Also because I still have the post MC fear that something will go wrong for me. She already has two young kids and had easy pregnancies and no mcs. The most crazy thing is that I keep wondering what if I wasn't pg right now? I would find this so hard to deal with and wonder why they couldn't have waited until my MC wasn't so raw because the world revolves around me. I know I'm a terrible person for feeling like this, why can't I just be happy for her?

molly I did roller derby, they will teach you to skate in almost all leagues. Definitely be prepared for bruises and broken bones

fruit

I'm feeling blue. I don't know why but pelvis pain probably doesn't help. Emailed mh midwives for an appointment this morning.

Aww fruit I think hormones make us all think crazy shit, don't beat yourself up. Your baby is a Js'ing baby so is a million times better already

pret hope you feel better soon. I have the utmost admiration for you ladies who are going through pg when you have suffered depression.

I'm going for a hair cut tonight. I shall post on fb my new do!

Pretzel have you tried a si belt. My osteo has one on standby for me

Thanks jelly, that's really sweet.

country It's a tight sacroiliac joint so pressure on my pelvis like from a support belt or tubigrip makes it worse. I've got some exercises to do and she'll knead me again in three weeks.

Fruit I get it. This is your time and it's precious. I can't articulate it any further, but I know this is how I'd feel if my sister got upduffed right now. A bit like she was stealing my super-fragile-post-mc-thunder. Hugs.

Find peace in that a) you'll have yours first b) yours is your first so the fam will likely fuss you a little more and c) as Jelly rightly pointed out, your baby is better because it was conceived on the JS forums. BOOM. And

What the others said Fruit, your baby will be the cutetest/most awesome/most cleverest. And failing all that as a JSing baby it will definitely be the best at knowing inappropriate words waaaaay before it is meant to.

, and Pretzel. Sorry that you feel down. Anything that you can do to look after yourself until you can see the professionals?

Um I got pissed off with Fearne Cotton for trumping my announcement with DS . Allow yourself to be unasonable and then forgive yourself. You don't need to rationalise every thing when your hormones are this crazy!

And this is a (((((((((( pretzel squeeze ))))))))))

Hi viroids, have been MIA for a while (and still not done my stats, oops! Stupid iPhone).

Hope all is well!

Fruit I completely understand where you are coming from. My younger cousin announced last week she's having a baby a month before me. I've had bleeding on and off and am paranoid something will happen and I'll never be able to look at her again Don't beat yourself up. Your baby will be fussed and loved AND as has been pointed out...a JSer who knows all the bad words

Feathered I think you and I have the same due date!

Thanks Thursday and pud. I've invited a couple of friends over for knitting tonight (thought it might help) and I've spent the last hour pouting to DP that I don't feel like seeing anyone. He thinks it'll do me good though.

I have to wait an hour for my hair cut. So I succumbed to McDonald's...

Nice one jelly, treat yourself.

Which reminds me, MW found sugar in my wee today so I'm that much more apprehensive about the gtt now.

Aww knitting and friends sounds lovely Pretz, it might be what you need to work you out of your funk. You could always suggest putting a film on if you don't feel super sociable.

We are not offered GTT here as standard, not that I am complaining!

pud I don't think they do it for everyone, I was due to have one anyway because my sister is diabetic.

pret my GTT came back fine and that day I had sugar in my wee. I told my mw I had a really sugary tea for breakfast... she's not taking my cake from me

Man swamp foof's got me bad today. Must remember panty liners.

Aww thank you for the support you lovely lot. Getting all emotional about how great you are in my time of crazy need. Have to remember that it doesn't matter who else has a baby as long as I get mine. And JS babies are definitely the best. Take that, Fearne Cotton!
Hope knitting helps pick you up Pretzel, it's such a great skill to have. I'm in awe of crafty people.
Welcome back Justme, have you had a scan yet? Sorry you've had a hard time, gx it's an easy pg from now.
How was your haircut Jelly?

It's short fruit, and quite bob-like. But I like it :)
