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.

I've changed our contact arrangements so she spends the nights here now so I can be in control of her bedtimes (another issue where I have been ignored) and supplements. So he turned up today to pick her up with 3 boxes of "my stuff"which is actually a bag of expired products from the bathroom closet, the contents of the cupboard where we kept giftwrap and bags, and the clothes and books left behind by his tenants last summer who were friends of mine... I was just lamenting our marriage the other day when I pulled my wine stained wedding dress out of a bag of maternity clothes. He spilled a full glass of red wine on me after getting high and drunk with the best man at out reception. The fact that I was six months pregnant is my only defense for why I didn't have it annulled. I'm actually a very classy woman, if a bit too tolerant.

I know pud I feel for her as she's really bright too so kind of a nerd to begin with! XH was with me at the hospital appointment, he just tuned the doctor out. He very helpfully suggested having her tested again to prove she's fine but I'm not going to take her for a blood test just to prove I'm right. She is better when she has the supplements. Its always after his access weekends I notice a problem.

Ooof sorry for being so ranty viroids! Didn't mean to hijack Fred!

Not at all Sky, he sounds like a complete idiot. Him becoming your X was definitely the right decision.

Thanks honey! DP thinks so too!

In other news. baby born mid flight

Bloody hell, people will film anything these days. Poor woman
Your ex sounds like hard work Sky, funny that mind altering chemicals like alcohol aren't against his hippy ways but iron supplements are!

Yeah I would not be happy if someone filmed me giving birth without my permission! And what's with the doc getting all the credit?! It was the mum that did all the pushing!

sky how irresponsible of your xh. Hope you can get the situation sorted soon.

Few more BHs plus mild (VERY mild) period pains
Have called MLU and waiting for them to call back. Quite calm as I think I am just being massively over cautious. Presume they will say to go in and get checked. Will update when I know more.

Hope they don't keep you waiting too long Pud.

Aw pud I'm thinking about you. I'm sure everything is fine I'm sure something similar happened with DD and she went well over her due date.

Thanks for the kind words all. You viroids are the best

Never hurts to give them a call pud, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Mw was v lovely and said just to keep an eye on it but it doesn't sound like anything to worry about at this stage. So I am going to go home and put my feet up and think un labour like thoughts!

Oo at least you phoned up pud :) glad all is OK, Christmas pud is not baked enough yet!

I literally have nothing in my house for dinner. I have no idea what to do...

Cake Jelly. It's the only reasonable option.

Weirdly i fancy a massive gorge out on fruit. Having fruit for lunch is totally legit right?

jelly of course!
I'm all about raw veg at the mo, which I am a bit normally but even more so this pregnancy. I just love the crunch

Glad you had a friendly voice on the phone pid are you feeling ok?

pud!

sky I'd be absolutely raging, what an absolute twat, your poor dd. It's no fun battling through low iron!

Everyone worrying about sleep deprivation I won't lie, it is brutal at times (DS was so bad at one point I was hallucinating and took the decision not to drive as didn't feel safe). HOWEVER, I still preferred the tiredness of a newborn than the bone shattering exhaustion of pregnancy hormones and hauling a bump around and all the aches and pains. People are different obviously but that's how it worked out for me!

Thanks Thursday, yes feeling fine thanks and my womble seems to have calmed down which is good. I have ordered everything I need for the hospital bag though and am picking it all up from Asda on Wed so no babies allowed before then! (Or before the beginning of December really!)
Have purchased big black granny pants and tena disposable incontinence pants (Good for lochia apparently) WOW do I feel glamorous.

Yes Pud, please remind you little one that their name is ChristmasPud and they are not to be born before then. Naughty bugger.

What is lochia?

Post birth bleed /discharge = lochia

Yum.

It's not too bad honey though it can take rather a long time to bugger off.

nfmu (uterus) - this baby is a wriggler for sure . I can feel it almost everytime I lie down.

I'm really not looking forward to periods again. After 5 years without one, to get them again when TTC was at first sight relief and then just a pain! Oh well, the pains of being a woman lol.

Good luck with hospital bag shopping pud! I'll have to dig out those lists people made when I shop for mine. Won't be till we move though. I need less clutter in my house right now
