It's the calm before the storm (sort of) that is Fantastic February and the March Madness - we did a lot of shagging last summer! We need more JSers on this, our 44th thread!

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 44th 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 43rd grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 57th 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!)

I am only now starting to eat chicken again. And only in certain processed to fuck forms. Not convinced I could stomach a breast.

Oh no sock! No cuppa for you! I went off tea a bit but am back on it now! Might try and wean off the I expos I was having and go totally caffeine free, maybe.

Feel so full - just stuffed my face with cake at a mates house . Coincidentally saw a friend there who had a 34 week scan - I didn't realise but her placenta had been low lying and has, much to her relief, moved up! Hooray! Apparently she's been shitting herself about complications but it was fine. Very weird she had that today and made me feel much better about how things might pan out, and like you say Honey once you get your head around it an ELCS can be zen!

No info on anything yet Carrot, midwife said not to worry at this stage as it'll prob (I hope move). Have read about placenta praevia and not liking the sound of bed rest and no sex/ plus other scary stuff! (Well, no sex I can live with, but bed rest would send me mental) Anyway I'm going on about it but technically I shouldn't even know it's happened at this stage and I sort if wish she hasn't told me.

Right ... Enough about my placenta ... Hope the inductionees are busy!

Tried to put the moves on DP and was cruelly rebuffed!

His list of complaints included:

"Your breath smells of donuts"
"You have incredibly cold hands"
and my personal favourite
"Those flannel old man pyjamas you're wearing have the crotch ripped out of them."

I love those pyjamas

Surely the crotchless pajamas should be a pro, not a con?!

Sorry for rejection Sky. I still love you, even with donut breath. I want donuts so badly now

My thoughts exactly!

Glad you have an acceptable plan in place pretz

Has jelly gone quiet? Promising..

honey glad scan was well and consultant appt good. Do you mind sharing what they said about the scar tissue? Just niaey as I know its been a worry for you.

pee glad you have a reason for bleed now, even if a little scary. Just try to take it easy and get lots of fibre and water in your diet to ease the straining. I don't advocate refusing to poo. I often considered it in first try for fear of straining the baby out!!

Still really struggling to find any boys names I like. It's definitely a boy isn't it!

Not at all! Essentially the problem is that there is likely to be significant adhesions between my internal organs. Should they do a C section, they would first have to cut apart my organs, then dive on in to the uterus. Obviously this is a bit of a ballache and could have a lot of complications so they would only do it in an absolute emergency.

Instead then prefer to persevere with vaginal delivery, but I will be closely monitored throughout and they won't take any chances with regards to delaying things or interventions.

I'm pretty happy with that. It's so nice that they didn't just dismiss it, but actually explained what they do and why! What a novel idea. Glad I saw different doctors today!

Sky sexy undies would obvs be wasted on your dp.

Ah OK, do its that the scarring causes complications with more serious complications/consequences for a c section rather than them ignoring the matter! Why the fk didn't the other Dr just say that!

Well indeed! I never wanted a C section, I just wanted them to acknowledge that the scaring would be considered during delivery.

No news from our girls?

It's amazing the difference a competent, clear doctor can make isn't it honey? I'm glad you're feeling a bit more confident, that does sound hella complicated though. Obviously your trouble free sneeze birth will mean that it won't be necessary to even consider these things.

sky your DH sounds like a pillock I hope he backs his ideas up today.

Any induction updates?

We are having an absolutely torrid time with DS sleeping at the mo - we'd just as well have a newborn now, it'd be easier to deal with. It's getting us both down a bit but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Well indeed Thursday! I shall have a lovely birth. Years of endometriosis agony means I will barely notice the contractions, and then I shall have an epidural, open my legs and cough. And baby will shoot right out! Lovely!

Right?

Sorry DS is struggling. is it just a toddler phase or do you think it's something to do with baby?

I'm fucked if I know honey I'm actually looking forward to having a newborn again now, their needs tend to much easier to meet. I call it the shave a boob in their mouth approach.

In all honestly though, I've seen other women who have suffered endometriosis post on MN that it 'helped' with pain expectations. That combined with a long enough early stage to help you build up. You'll be a

I have an awfully low pain threshold (a ginger thing if you believe some) so the 0-60 nature of my own induction was probably about the worst thing that could have happened for me!

How is everyone else?
Good weekends lined up?

Morning! rustles pom poms hopefully

We're off to PramWorld this morning and out for a meal this evening. That means I will need a nap this afternoon.
Tonight's a 'last supper' for my sister who is off to hospital on Wednesday for her transplant and will be in for at least a month, if not longer. Luckily, no one in the family is a big go-er out-ter, so a nice 10pm finish is on the cards!

Sorry DS is being a PITA Thursday. Hope you can catch up with naps.

Best of luck for your sister mermaid.

I have a cold And my hips hurt, but I forgot when was the last time they didn't. Maybe I should cheer myself up with some pancakes...

my good day off went rapidly downhill with the news my mums bowel cancer has recurred as lung and liver metastases :( no idea how bad it is or the prognosis as she doesn't want to know details, just keep a PMA and get on with treatment, I'm struggling with the uncertainty and upset that chubs may have no grandmas too soon as already lost dMIL to cancer a couple of years ago :(

thurs mythbusters reckon redheads are better with pain... mythbusters

oh and someone's had a baby on fb :)

Oh 5hell! How awful, I'm so sorry.

Oh 5hell I'm so sorry

Poor carrot
and poor 5hell mum that really sounds frightening and uncertain, I'm so sorry.

I thought it was the other way around - ah well, I guess I'll just face up to being a wimp and stop blaming it on other things!

Who who who had a baby? I got a bit overwhelmed by the FB group so I'm focus sing in the thread now

Oh 5hell I'm so sorry to hear that. Try to keep a PMA for her and for you. I really feel for you. Hugs.

Jellybaby has arrived

Huzzah for jelly baby!

Hugs and handholding to 5hell my DF has a terminal illness too and is determined to stick his head in the sand about it so I never know what is going on. It is hard to deal with!
