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.

Hello! Been out all day, just catching up now.

for Pret and Fruit

Roller Derby sounds painful, and that's coming from an ex rugby player.

Thursday was it you talking swimming? You do too much exercise, you put me to shame!

Had my 24 week midwife appt today, then dropped car off for service and chilled with friends. Went for Chinese with DH then round friends for coffee and cake. They announced their pregnancy which is super exciting! (They've been TTC for 3 years) They are 8 weeks behind me and I am thrilled for them. So great day!

Ah that's reassuring jelly and I'm glad yours came back normal.

Thanks fruit and honey you lovely lot.

Having friends over was good for me. I must force myself to see people I like regularly. i just don't like many people Trying not to fall into the trap of going over every single conversation I had with people and finding fault with myself now. Go the fuck to sleep, brain weasels!

honey that's so lovely about your friends' pregnancy. GX for them.

Swimming! I keep meaning to try it for my pelvis but have so far been too nervous/unmotivated. I have a mat swimming cozzie though so I'm sort of halfway there, right? Practically got my toes in the water

Chuff off brain weasels!!!!

Honestly Pretzel, swimming is so lush when pregnant. Front crawl/back stroke only though. I recommend going when it is quiet/full of grannies.

honey nope I can safely say I'm not a swimmer! That's not me putting anyone to shame there.

DS is off to his GPS for mostof today (can I get an aaaaaamen). So I think I might go for a little run, harass my husband, take a little nap y'know all the fun things

Aaaaamen

I really need to start swimming, I've just been too busy/too lazy to go. Plus I'm now at the point where my fanjo has disappeared under my bump so pruning would be hard...

Question from those of you with bumps and/or back pain, what's ways are you managing to shag? (Looking at you here honey, with your sex-scapades)

27 weeks today. Less that 3 months to go...eek!

Oh yes, maybe I should prune while I still can, good think jelly! Last time, DH took his clippers to me at about week 38 it was hilarious. And then they did it again for me in surgery

On all fours. Certainly for the last ten weeks.

Do you love your new hair jelly? When I get mine cut I always can't keep my hands off it.

Yeh I love getting it cut. I have really thick hair so when it's cut it feels so light and lovely. Then it grows haha! Still I've got about 3 weeks of it feeling nice so going to enjoy it!

Lol dp would piss himself if he had to get his clippers out. Not a bad idea tho to be fair lol.

Lovely muddy 5k under my belt with the dog.
Turning into a beautiful day out there today.

jelly I know that feeling, I love gettin a haircut! Mine is thick and wavy so I always come out feeling 10 st lighter!!

Okay, time for a couple of stupid questions from the newly knocked up!

Will it be okay to go to an 'urban dance' workshop tonight?! It's at the wi, so I doubt it will be very strenuous... I usually go with a friend and i don't want to tell her I'm pregnant yet.

Also, I'm probably being stupid, but I don't feel anywhere near as sick as I did on Sunday (the banana incident!) and I'm a bit worried! Part of me is relieved, part of me wants to throw my guts up just so I know everything is okay.
Tell me in not the only one who has been paranoid??

NFMS(can) - Team Blue

Kate not stupid questions at all - we've all been there :) ...dance workshop should be fine as long as you're normally active-ish; sickness, boob swelling, bloating etc all seem to come and go to varying extents for everyone at some stage so dont worry about that either.

(All this 'wise/rational' advice from someone worrying about lack of symptoms at 18w...apart from small bump and mega nips I have nothing now!)

Kate here's how your paranoia will go...

Weeks 4-6: I feel OK! Omg, its gone wrong.
Weeks 6-10: Oh God I want to die. I feel so awful there must be something wrong.
Weeks 10-12: SCANXIETY!
Weeks 12-16: is there still a heart beat? I feel OK, it must have gone wrong.
Weeks 16-20: SCANXIETY2.0! Is it healthy?!
Weeks 20-24: I can't feel movements yet. It's gone wrong! They won't try to save it if I miscarry!
Weeks 24-30: movements aren't regular! It's all gone wrong!
Weeks 30-38: premature delivery or stillbirth. It's going to go wrong!
Weeks 38-40: omg what have I done?! My poor vagina!
Weeks 40-42: I am going to rip in two delivering the world's most giant baby! It's all going to go wrong!

Hth

Tea congratulations!

hah honey that had me in fits! it's true for me so far!!!

thanks honey I'm glad it's not just me!

5hell thanks, I'm not a total couch potato so I'll go, but I'll take it easy

Thanks for indulging my craziness!

tea that's lovely! Congratulations!

honey, yep, just like that!
Congrats Tea a boybee!

congrats tea - hope the whole scan was wonderful...good pics and lots of wriggling? :)

honey that is perfect and should be framed/pinned/saved for prosperity on the MN pregnancy page!!!

FINALLY got through to my MW (she's been off sick apparently, and couldn't be bothered to get through the 58 text messages she had) and on annual leave next week, so now have my 16w appointment after my 20w scan! ...still better than not at all!

Anyone any ideas who else I can nag ask about test results?...dont feel there's much point asking her!

can you phone the surgery and ask them, they sometimes get the results up on screen? thats shocking about your 16w appointment though!

5hell loads and loads of wriggling (which isn't conducive to good photos). The highlight of which was when the sonographer said, "...and there're his feet, stamping up and down on your bladder!". No shit, Sherlock.

bows Why thank you!

Congrats tea mine was a wriggler too

5hell on the front of my green notes is a sticker with 3 different contact numbers...you have anything similar?

Ahh a boy! Congrats Tea!

Nail on the head there Honey, especially about movements, flippin terrifying trying to keep up with those!

I've had a rare day of lots of movement except it's been super low and I swear on my cervix. Feel like the baby is trying to kick her way out lol.

Hooray for boybee tea!

honey accurate! --apart from the sickness which lasts forever of course-

Feeling a bit perkier today. Looking forward to DP moving in this weekend and celebrating 8 years together on Sunday. Mental health midwives are going to pop along and see me during my gtt wait next Friday.

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better pret, and good that the mh mw is coming to see you finally.

I'm really tired today. The exhaustion sort of hit me.

In other news, we may be moving in 2 and half weeks! Eep!!
