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.

Feathered I know it's easier to say than do but try to stay calm. It can be completely normal and nothing to worry about deep breaths

feathered it can be normal, glad you are getting checked out. It could be you over did it yesterday with all the lifting from Ikea.

Let us know how you get on.

Yep, stay calm and get to hospital.

Hope you are okay Feathered, it can most definitely be normal. You had bleeding in the first tri too didn't you? Some people just do, although that must be terrifying. We are all hand holding while you get looked after.

Hugs for you Feathered it must be scary but remember that blood when you wipe is a really small amount so hopefully it's nothing.

Seen the doctor and a consultant and had some internals and a scan.

The second internal needed a second opinion and they scraped out a horrendous sort of fleshy clump from the side of my vaj. They think it might be a polyp (sp) but not sure where the bleeding is from. They've sent the polyp/gross flesh stuff for tests. I'm now bleeding loads but my cervix is closed and baby's heart was beating happily on the scan. Placenta looked good.

Consultant keeps telling me to stay calm and it should be fine but then talked about not being able to see into the future and mentioned threatened miscarriage...so I don't really know what to expect. No pain or cramps though which is good although I've got to stay in.

Glad to hear it's not coming from your uterus feathered. You must be so scared, try to stay calm, we are all here for you. At least you're in the best place possible right now.

I have a polyp too Feathered. They warned me it might go and would bleed loads. Really good that your uterus in "intact" as it were.

feathered we're with you all the way. Glad to hear baby's heart is beating away.

Cervix, placenta and baby are all good then - that's got to be good news. Hopefully your test results will come back soon and you will have some more info. I think polyps are fairly common. Keep breathing and keeping calm if you can my love, we are all thinking of you.

feathered - hopefully now they've removed the polyp, all will settle down again, at least baby is happy

Just popping on to send well wishes to Feathered, try not to panic and hopefully test results can put your mind at rest. Lots of love.

I've been lurking, just not had anything too interesting to report other than feeling very sick and very stressed with work! I no longer eat anything remotely oaty. Bleurgh! Vommed in front of dd yesterday, who was most distraught ... Was like something out of a horror film!!

Sending thoughts to others going through a tricky time and congrats to the newbies too.

Must have been so scary feathered, but looks like all is looking good and they are looking after you. Take it easy

Had my first major sickness issue today...nipped into the supermarket for a few bits after work...2 aisles in and I've got actual sick in my mouth. Had to abandon the trolley mid-aisle and run for the toilets. Nice.

DH wants to know why/what set it off
Me: nothing, I'm pregnant, remember..
Him: but what made you feel sick??
Me: nothing and everything...
Him: wah...I don't understand!

Poor Mr Logic is struggling with the concept of me feeling/being sick for no reason!

Feathered at least baby and hb looking good.

Mermaid congratulations and great news!

Ill sorry to hear about your dream, they can be so scary and vivid in early pg.

I have to see him tomorrow. We're taking DS out somewhere, he hasn't seen him for a week, longest time ever. I don't know what to say or how to act. Be at my best and make him see what he's missing but risk him thinking he's made the right decision and we're totally fine? Be upset and make him feel regret but also pleased he doesn't have to be around such a miserable cow? I never thought he would be someone I'd be self conscious and unsure of how to behave around. Had a good day sorting stuff despite chest and cough and now feel totally overwhelmed. Exhausted but bet I won't sleep. Just want the baby born so at least I can stop worrying I'm harming it somehow by all this emotion and stress and lack of sleep

Molly, your little baby is totally oblivious to everything that is going on and will be quite happy tucked up inside your tum. As for tomorrow my advice would be to just be you - whatever that may entail. Don't try and force one emotion or another as you may as well be honest. The worst to outcome of this I think is that you get better closure in the long run. The only thing I would say is that if you are going to feel angry/upset (which is of course totally reasonable!) to try and shelter DS from of if you can. Big love and big hug for tomorrow.

Oh god yes, that's all I'm doing. Don't always succeed in not crying in front of him but try and turn it into comedy sobs so he'll laugh and join in at least he is so little that yes, he'll probably cry when his dad says goodbye tomorrow but will be very quickly distracted and hopefully forget.

Good stuff, you sound like a really fabulous Mum, DS and baby are v lucky to have you.

Molly you are doing fabulously.

Feathered any more news?

Hi viroids. Thanks for the love. No more news - I'm in overnight. The nurses and midwives are all awesome and I have a private room, ensuite and TV which I didn't expect with the NHS! Bleeding isn't as bad but passed a big clot which freaked the living fuck out of me....if my cervix is closed where the hell did it come from??

Will see the doc again tomorrow so hopefully so more answers. Will store them up for you if this is defo polyp based Honey. Bastard polyps.

Only thing that's making me more nervous is the midwives saying "try to be optimistic" "it sounds quite optimistic" and crossing their fingers. I want more reassurance . Have listened to the baby's heartbeat again so I suppose that will do for now.

Had a wave of dark humour earlier and thanked my lucky stars I didn't try to seduce DH this week - if he'd have been the cause of the ruptured polyp, lord knows if we'd ever have sex again.

Molly don't try to portray anything you're not feeling - just go with it. If you try to contrive a feeling you'll end up exploding. Wish I could offer you more/better advice. I second what Pud said - you sound like such a lovely mum to your ds. Really hope it goes ok tomorrow and you manage to get some sleep tonight.

Feathered - gods, sorry to hear you are having such a frightening ordeal. They sound like they are taking very good care of you, even if their bedside manner could be more reassuring.

Molly - It's awesome you are going ahead with it for DS's sake, you are trying to do what is best for DS and that's all that matters.

On nights. Zzzzz.

feathered that sounds terrifying, glad you're being well looked after! The clot could just be from where they have scraped the polyp out. Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

molly hope all goes as best as it can tomorrow. You are doing an amazing job.

Ill sorry about your scary dream! I haven't had any horrible ones yet but I bet they are to come! Still hasn't really sunk in if I'm honest.

Ovia pregnancy tells me I am incubating a ladybird currently - haha!

Zzz some more

Corgi - get used to Ovia's completely berserk baby size comparators!

That was a strange one Feathered I didn't understand how it went from an avocado to a pear. Maybe we have small pears here but I've always thought they were about the same size.
Glad you are being looked after and I hope you get some answers this morning. Don't be afraid to ask to speak to the doctor again or ask them to repeat themselves if it's hard to take it all in.
Molly you are doing great, don't worry about how to act. I lived with my ex for a while after we broke up and it went in cycles of arguing/ remembering why we were breaking up and then getting one really well/ wondering how we would live without each other. It's a crazy period of emotions, don't even bother trying to control them to portray a particular image to him.
ill I had one of those dreams early on. Keep telling yourself that it's not real.
I overdid it yesterday and ended up sulking on the sofa with cramps and ice cream. I need to try to get more sleep and manage busy days better, I hate feeling like my body is broken.

i slept! hooray!! :)
off to do xmas shopping today hopefully it's not too rammed!

had a horrid dream where loads of my teeth fell out!...but then there were also parts where i was helping out katie price with her new baby, and a bit where i was reunited with a v old friend....crazy dreams!

also felt a kick from the outside i think i pretty much only feel rare movements around the edge of the bump, which makes sense with ant placenta i guess.

hope everyone has a nice weekend planned.

molly hope today is nice for DS and not too upsetting for you
