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.

NFMP (news from my poo): constipation is now are rain. Fucking ace.

Arse**

Boo jelly hope your bum feels better soon.

Constipation has one positive by the way - the poo doesn't smell. Or at least not as bad. V important if you work in a small office. Silver linings and all that

Carrot, trust me when I say when constipation turns to arse rain, it smells like death...

kate I'm sending a hooyah. I had loads of wierd stretchy, stabby, pully feelings about 5wks. All kinda stopped ATM but all fine in there this morning. The worry and stress is doing you more harm than the stretching!

justme I thought someone else was having a scan today. Glad all was looking good.

So, wierd feelings in my fanjo - discuss!

And also what will happen/be asked at my first midwife appointment? Would it be wierd to take dh?

for jelly's arse.

Are you getting fanjo daggers lil? At first MW appt they ask lots of questions about your medical history and take first bloods. Wouldn't be weird to take dh at all, he can probably be more help for his own family's medical history.

Forgot to say, I feel like a total hero because I went to daisy birthing and didn't even cry about it AND I drove myself! Achievemennnttt lol. Yes this is what it has come to.

Well done pretzel! Did you maybe enjoy it a little?
Not quite daggers, maybe forks? Only for a few moments and nothing since. I e felt similar before while TTC. Wondering if its to do with dildocam being shoved around there this morning.

Oh jelly poor you! My bowels are completely unpredictable with these pessaries going up there twice a day

Thanks lil, it wasn't too bad actually. I even asked some questions! I think it helps that there's no session next week and then the one after that is the last one.

I've been getting fanjo daggers a fair bit all the way through. Could equally be dildo cam though as you say. Have some either way. So thrilled for you!

for Pretzel!

Arse sympathies Jelly.

How long are you on pessaries for Lil? Progesterone?

Hi lil, sky and fruit ... Such a warm welcome!

Congratulations on the wonderful scan news lil and just such an amazing feeling.

rdm my dd was 9 1/2 lb and although it hurt like hell, she didn't mess about, when she was on her way, that was it! They say big baby's have more oomph so you'll be just fine.

Constipation sucks!! Hoping you feel better soon jelly

I'm 12+4 today and have gained half a stone already. Mind you, did gain 4 stone with dd (love affair with magnum ice creams!) and it all came off quite quickly after .. so don't worry ladies eat all the cake!

Oh yes, welcome disco! Sorry, did mean to say that! I think i recall your brief appearance on the shaggers thread.

lil thanks for the hooyah! I am naturally a bit of a worry wart... Also, I hope it's not weird to take dp's to 8 week appointment, I'm planning on df coming with me

jelly I'm right there with you on the constipated front... No arse rain as of yet though!

pretzel well done! I've had a look at daisy birthing and thought it looked good... Is it not so much?!

NFMB(bed): pregsomnia is still kicking my arse, and I'm now also having funky weird dreams when I do get some sleep...

honey until after 12 week scan. Can't wait to stop them. And yes its 400mg progesterone twice a day. Some clinics stop it at 5wks some at 8, some at 12 so my clinic is a good clinic IMO!

Kate I'm quite jealous you have so many symptoms already. I'm just bloated!

lil - enjoy lack of symptoms while it lasts! For the fanjo forks it could be the dildo cam, but it could also just be pressure on the cervix or whatever. I had the same feeling ALOT earlier on, and have carried low the whole way through.

Aww poor you jelly, hope it stops soon.

Insomnia is bloody horrible Kate, I've had it too this time, but it did go away. Hope yours leaves you alone soon too.

It's not weird to take OHs to booking in, but tbh it's quite boring. They take your weight/height/bp, wee sample and bloods and then there's lots of form filling. So if coming along doesn't cause any issues with work then fine, but if they have to take a day off for it I wouldn't bother.

NFMV: it seems that thrush has calmed down. I think I'll put some more cream on jic, and use the pessary if it comes back again to knock it on the head once and for all until the next time

Morning!

Thanks for the arse rain sympathies ladies. I sat in the shower for 20 minutes afterwards, just to try and feel better. No bum sex for me not that I do that anyway.....

lil glad your pessaries aren't for too long. I can't imagine they are pleasant. Did you and DH celebrate the bean?

I think I might resurrect the 3am club, I'm past trying to sleep most mornings. My early pregnancy Insomnia stopped about 7 weeks.

pret well done you :) gold star!!

Oh and I was given a seat on the train today. #officiallypregnantnow

Tbh they aren't too bad jelly. I do them up the back door because front door ends ups dripping out and making a mess, but that does mean cramps and trapped wind for an hour or so after doing it!

Yay for being given seat on train! Check you out preggers!

Gouda I'll take any symptoms going! And I won't even complain.

Can't stop looking at scan PIC and telling dh there's a baby in me

Oh and thanks for heads up on me appt carrot dh not working so will bring him along for the ride lol

Aww lil it's such an amazing feeling staring at that little bean and thinking "that has a tiny heart beating away in me right now". I'm so made up for you.

Oh anyone near Hammersmith hospital, the study I am doing is offering a free scan to preggo people to train junior docs. It's on 14th Nov. If you want the details message me!

Lil is it sinking in yet?

So today I am 24 weeks. Woo for viability! of course I am now chugging cold drinks and sitting very still to check all is OK

yay for viability honey :) it was a weight off my mind. Apparently at 28 weeks if you went in to labour the baby would have almost as good a chance of survival as a full term baby due to their lungs maturing enough! That's my tomorrow
