It's the dream combo of carbs and couples massagers, welcoming pukey newbies and teffrifying norks, it's GTTs a go go on JS Grads 41!

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 41st 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 40th grads thread 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.

We've had a decent amount (3-4 times a week) up to now - I really don't feel sexy at all these days though, starting to feel like a goddamn whale.

I seriously miss JSing it was fun!

So my womble hurts.... to be fair pretty much everything between my belly button and my knees hurts though so I don't think it is anything significant! Maybe baby is sticking its head further into my pelvis? MW said that the head is 3/5ths palpable today, so that means 2/5ths of the head is engaged? Is that right medical types?

Scan today... All levels normal and fluid maintained so no need to go back. Woo! Will still have growth scan around 32 weeks but otherwise just consultant appointments as normal.

Haven't caught up yet but just wanted to say NEVER go to Ikea, on your own, without a car, after work, with a wheely suitcase, knowing you need to get a bus and train home - oh, yeah and also don't buy a 17kg coffee table whilst there and have to get it back home.....

What I have just dragged across London

Sounds about right to me pud. Better get revising my obstetrics knowledge properly!!
Good news honey!

Oh my God Feathered, you are mental.

dear Lord!!!!

Oh Feathered, you got Ikea Fever. Did you also buy meatballs and Dime bars? And did you dare to try and go against the flow of people and use the shortcuts? You must have been desp for the coffee table :)

Pelvic floor app –I need this!

Just had a funny experience at pilates. I texted my instructor, who I have got to know quite well, saying I was upduffed and to wink at me if there was anything I shouldn't be doing. I also said I didn't want it drawing to anyone's attention just yet, obviously!

Got there a bit late and from behind me she said 'everything OK Mum-to-be?' – really loudly! She was actually talking to another heavily pregnant lady and caught my eye and said 'ha ha! where you worried I meant you?'

Spent the entire class wondering if this was an 'in' joke between us or if she hadn't read my text. Anyway, after wondering if she was grinning at me and saying things like 'don't anyone go pretending they are pregnant to have an easier class' turns out she hadn't read the text! So I did a full pilates class! Hey ho, I feel fine. I told her to read the text after the zumba class she was about to teach!

Feathered you loon!!

for you Honey, that's great news!

My bump is so itchy it's driving me mad. Have managed to dig out some bio oil from the back of the drawer so will give that a go.

feathered you nutter!!! did you buy any baby stuff too?

I have finally caught DHs cold/sore throat :(

tena lady app (free) is also good...it expects me to do them 6 times a day but if i manage 2-3x I'm happy

I could only drag the coffee table, couldn't even manage a packet of the ginger biscuits. I did, however, power up with a light snack before (attempting shortcuts and) picking up my coffee table....

It's a super boring coffee table but - BUT! - I have bought some gold spray and gold leaf sheets and am going to attempt an "ikea hack" to make it look beautiful and goldy/brass! Coffee table was £35 and gold leaf stuff was £40 so it's much much less £££ than the ridiculously overpriced/expensive/dreamy coffee table I actually wanted.

Will post before and after pics on the FB page this weekend! Let's hope it doesn't end up looking totally awful!

Honey so pleased all looking good for your fluid levels. You must be really relieved.

And thanks viroids generally for not making me feel like a total nun on the lack of boning issue. DH completely aware of the fact his willy isn't going to be boinging the baby in the face, it's just more psychological - he just feels irrationally concerned it could hurt me/the baby somehow. I plan on seducing him with bodacious norks. Should put an end to his worries.

Well, it was def worth dragging my dressed up ass out, as I won an award

Mermaid - yay for awards.

Feathered - my dh has put a ban on sex until after the scan.

Nfmb - news from my brain - exceptionally graphic dream last night, dreamt I had a miscarriage. It was unpleasant and I was genuinely confused as to why I was still pregnant when I woke up. I hate my brain.

mer congratulations! ! What for? Did it include a cash money prize u can spank on baby stuff?? :)

Well today is not going to be fun...barely slept last night, mostly my own hb annoying me and keeping me awake :(
Does anyone else feel like their heart is making their whole body pulse, especially when I try to go to bed! And don't even get me started on having to listen to it in my ears!!!!! ...god what a boring rant, sorry! !

Haha, sadly no cash....it was for Best Home based/online business

Don't mind re the baby stuff - we've had a spare room full of baby stuff since we started ttc courtesy of my bestie...crib, Moses basket, jumparoo, play mat, shed loads of newborn clothes etc

Congrats mermaid! that sounds exciting!

Golden coffee table sounds like it'll be a work of art feathered! I have paint and some cupboards shoved in a cupboard I've been meaning to up cycle for ages. Christmas hols maybe?!

5hell - yes, I get that weird racing heart beat in bed too!!

Thanks viroids, definitely feeling happier! Kicks are getting harder and more frequent, measurements are tracking 50th percentile and I haven't been sick since my twice in one day spectacular the other week. It's all good at the moment!

Well done Mermaid!

Feathered looks lush. Yum.

Work cancelled today in best possible way i.e. Before I got out of bed. Still get paid. Fabulous! Now need to do something productive with my time

That's great news honey!

feathered you nutter.

Oh ill those dreams are the worst. My sympathy.

Congrats mermaid on the award! Good job you didn't take my quilt advice.

5hell I got that earlier on but it has calmed down now, so hopefully you won't have it throughout your pg.

Honey I'm glad your scab was all good

Feathered how on earth did you manage to lug all that?? Crazy woman

Mermaid congrats on the award! Glad it was worthwhile making the effort.

Oh ill that dream sounds horrible

I've been feeling quite good for the past 2 days since my uninvited crampy wake up call. Breasts are more and more sore each day and the odd little moment of nausea but all in all nothing I can't cope with she says jinxing it for the rest of the pregnancy.

Honey obviously that was meant to be scan not scab! If you have got a scab though I hope it's all good too and healing well...

Honey #winning

And Mermaid #winning! Congratulations on the award, you must be really proud!

Ill miscarriage dreams are horrible. Try to wipe it from your mind. I ind a Homer Simpson "shut up brain" approach best.

Keep I had no idea I had the strength to be honest - but I'm mega proud of myself! It's the most activity I've partaken in for ages!

I've just started bleeding. Not much, just on wiping but I'm terrified and can't stop shaking. Off to the epu. Please tell me this can be normal.

It absolutely can feathered try not to panic xx
