We're multitasking by crocheting and blood testing our way through pregnancy. We are waiting for our clutch of Christmas babies to hatch while our newbies are gearing up for scans, it's JS Grads 42!

[Hobbit19]

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 41sr 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. (Except it's not because I don't know how to link to the stats sheet!)

Yay for blob keep! Congrats!

That's a v good size JC, I'm predicting baby by the end of the week which is based on nothing

gouda I use loads of cream, pg or not as I have dry skin. Unfortunately It gets even worse when pg. I do think it was just stretching, as I was getting some ligament pain at the bottom of bump too. Underbump was itchy today again, but I was at work wearing a dress

Do some head stands Gouda From what I've read though mucus plug doesn't really mean anything. Unless it's bloody which could mean dilation.

Molly it's great they are being so proactive, I guess it makes everything much calmer for you. ----

What on earth happened there? Stupid app...

Hurray for the blob keep !!

Hurrah for a beautiful blob Keep! How lovely.

Screw it, Carrot just have a good old scratch, feel free to make orgasms noises at the same time, it feels soooooo gooooood!

Aaah what a lovely blob! Congratulations Keep!

Evening viroids!

I'd completely fallen off the thread due to being so busy with work, looking after dd and generally feeling like hell ... Still...at almost 19 weeks. Meh. I've decided I'm allergic to work as am only sick on work mornings!

congrats to the newbies! Sorry for you lovelies who are feeling so poorly and those having an anxious time of it

Totally hear you on the pissing and vomming episodes ... I basically wet myself every time I'm sick ... Fortunately only been sick at home so far ... That could be awkward. Threw up on the bedroom floor a few weeks ago, poor DD was distraught. It just frickin got me out of nowhere.

Lovely blob keep!

fingers crossed that those imminent babies don't keep you waiting for too long!

Consultant round two today. So she said a big fat no on cs because weird joint condition causes to many unknowns that mean there's no actual reason for doing it. Eeeeven though an orthopaedic consultant has said cs is best option. Sigh. She would be happy for me to seek another opinion to see if they would ok it but thinks it's unlikely they'll sign off on it. Is it even worth going to see someone else? Feel very dejected and blue

On another note she's booked me in for a growth scan in 8 weeks as dh was a ginormobaby

I think it would Defo be worth seeing someone else country, opinions and practices vary so much. Especially if you'd ideally like a cs ... You have nothing to lose I guess?

How heavy was dh? My DH told me he was 7lb ... Turns out after me squeezing out a 9 1/2 pounder, his mum informed he was actually 9 odd pounds ... Go figure?!

She's the second consultant I've seen

He was over 10lb

country I think you should keep trying and fighting and seeking as many opinions as you can until you get the one you want.
I'm sorry you're having to do this, it is terrifying being faced with a birth you don't want

Thanks everyone, it's really put my mind at ease Tea that actually freaks me out, I mean, how is that blob going to somehow be baby shaped in just four weeks?! Madness.

JC it definitely sounds like baby wants to come this year!

Country I'm sorry you didn't get the answer you wanted. Three cant be any harm in seeing another consultant can there? You never know

Completely forgotten everything else that's been said, sorry!

pud are you using bio oil? I basically bathed in the stuff, minimal itching and2 stretch marks, it was fab.
Or, have you bought scratch mitts yet?

keep it's beautiful!

country that's frustrating, gx for your second opinion!

I'm feeling dare I say slightly better today, and DS has the shits, so now wondering if all my troubles could have been something we've caught/eaten?? Cue much worrying about implications of being ill in early pregnancy...!

According to my last period I'll be 4 weeks tomorrow, however had a very strong positive a week ago, on CD21/22 which is odd. Not sure when to contact the midwife...when did everyone else do it??

Keep lovely news! There's no better feeling than that early blob heart beating! (Well, I hope there is further down the line)

beautiful blob keep

I am soooooo full from work's xmassy buffet lunch!! ...like obscenely full, still!
My secret santa present went down well (chuffed!), and I got a baby hooded towel/apron thing clearly my identity/personality is already synonymous with baby!

YB my dd has had the shits last two days too, lots of stuff going around so hopefully you'll be feeling better.

also had was to much caffeine today

YB et al, there's so many crap colds, bugs and virus' going around ...all made 100x worse by not being able to take anything. i'm not actually normally a big drug-taker, but somehow knowing you can't take something makes you want to more!

Does anyone have a link to the Facebook group?

YB pm one of us your Facebook email address so we can add you to the group (and any other newbies).

I was using bio oil but it ran out so I switched to coconut oil because it was cheaper and I am tight but I don't think it is quite as good.

Here we do self referral to the MW but it is different in different areas, maybe give your surgery a call and ask what to do. You probably won't be seen until 8 weeks + though.

Country can you get your orthopedic consultant to talk to your obstetric consultant/write them a letter? Defo get a 2nd opinion, even if it is to reassure you that a v - birth isn't any more likely to cause you issues (if indeed that is the case).

Sorry that you still feel rubbish Disco, I really started to feel better after 20 weeks so there is still hope!

Yay keep for a lovely scan!

country sorry the consultant wasn't helpful .

disco I hope you get some relief from the sickness and nausea soon. I found it really tough, but it did pass eventually.

Feeling fed up after nct. I am trying but not clicking with people, and seeing them clicking with each other just makes me wonder wtf is wrong with me. And I'm fucking tired and it takes so much to try to make friends and it's getting me bloody nowhere. Hard to keep the hope that I will make irl parenty friends sometime somehow or maybe I'll just be antisocial and bitter. Sorry for the whinge. #emoviroid

I must bow out.

Spent most the night with cramps and bleeding including what I think was the sac, confirmed at appointment that I was miscarrying and as I was bleeding so much and have to fly on Saturday had D & C this afternoon.

Wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies. Thank you all for your support.

Oh ill I'm so sorry. Sending love and hugs across the Atlantic. Xxxx

Oh Ill, how awful. I am so so sorry. It doesn't help now, I am sure, but a lot of us have been there so please feel free to hang around for support. In the meanwhile I hope your OH is looking after you. Xxx

Oh no Ill, I'm so sorry. There are no other words but I will keep you in my thoughts.

Oh ill I'm so sorry to hear that. My best wishes go out to you both.

Oh no ill so sorry for you both! We are all thinking of you lots and sending gentle hugs your way
