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!)

Pretz how big is your bed that you can fit Moses basket AND you two in it?! Or have I just got a stupidly large Moses basket? I sense I have but as I have a stupidly large baby tis probably no bad thing!

Exh not being a penis at all. In fact we're getting on really well atm (he called to arrange picking up lost earlier and we ended up howling with laughter at each other). Whether that's because there's still a spark and we're rediscovering it now the pressure of everything is off or whether it's because I don't care enough to be angry or sad anymore I have no idea. Who knows what the future holds but it's really nice not to be worried about it and know I will be fine whatever happens. Never thought I'd be in a good enough place to take this attitude, I am little miss anxiety over everything. Been reading some great books and the sertraline probably isn't hurting either and feeling pretty bloody strong

Sock YY to non-morning-sickness...mine was worse in the afternoon and evening
Eat whatever you like....I subsisted on salt and vinegar crisps for at least a week!

In other news: I bought a bump support band the other day and did zumba tonight. The band really helped, although I think my slut drop days might be over, although pregnancy boobs are pretty good for shimmying

Well done for keeping it up mermaid! And perhaps I mean that literally too?!

I can't remember if I said earlier, but I took delivery of a HH nursing bra earlier and FUCK ME its enormous. Frighteningly so!

Loving FB stalking you all btw

I've dropped from 3 zumba's a week to one and plan on starting preg pilates soon as well

I also enjoy FB stalking too

thurs that is the best advice I've heard on morning sickness ever. Totally agree. HH! haha ginormanorks! Mind you mine might be the exact same - current is a G, boobs swelling and hardening by the hour and it's already at least a cup size too small

molly I'm so pleased to hear that! And that the sertraline is helping! You ARE fucking strong 💪 our bed is queen size and we're both kinda skinny, especially DP.

merm "slut drop days"

Hey, my slut drops were great, but don't look quite as sexy with a pregnant bump....

Sock I remember those days too. As if it were yesterday. Or, you know, this morning. I really am the wrong person to talk to about MS.

Mermaid "slut drops" are what got you in to this message to begin with

On the ginormanorks front... I'm busting out of a 32HH at 33 weeks and genuinely sitting bricks about how big my boobs will get when my milk comes in...

Hi all! I have had a really busy day showing my lovely cousin around London and eating nice things just in case it does turn out I have GD. To be honest, I think I am just a bit podgy from shamelessly indulging in whatever I fancy most days

honey I know exactly how you feel. My DBro and all of my staff are mid-twenties and they are all a special kind of hopeless at times over things I consider basic common sense. Plus, all hilariously expect the world to be handed to them gift wrapped (with a receipt for when they change their minds)... That said they also have some wonderful qualities too so I choose to focus on those. You have to trust that they will learn in time in the lessons they need. Other peoples paths aren't ours to judge - you have to let them learn for themselves... sometimes that is easier to do from a casual distance

Molly you sound on excellent form fucking well done. You are brilliant.

Yes yes to maternity shopping the sales! Well done for that ladies. Love Isabella Oliver too. At 70% off they are practically paying you to wear it. Resale value is high on ebay too

Sending all good vibes and warm thoughts. I am shattered! Goodnight xx

Oh and I have been meaning to post this here. It is a great meditation on doing what's right for you as a mum. words of wisdom from a working mum

honey just spotted the post I missed about bil and sil. This added to what you've said about them in the past suggests to me they wouldn't have the sense to listen to your advice anyway. Save your breath and stick to what limited relationship you are able to have with them. This is my tactic with my dad, and I still get sad/angry/frustrated by his behaviour, but I think I'm able to get what I can from him and leave the rest iyswim? I can draw a line between myself and his shitty behaviour/decisions. I dunno.. 4.30am ramblings.

Nfmn (norks): milk is IN!

Oh and unicorn pants pic...

Yay for milk. Woke up with a painful hard bump. Trapped wind and can't lie down. Baby merrily dancing away so not worried but just uncomfy. Time to ramp up the lactulose I guess? Pregnancy is not for wimps!

honey YY to this mess

Honey your B & SIL sound like my own DSIS and BIL. Except my DSIS is only a year younger than me. They just bloody don't think anything through. And if you try to talk to them my sister just rolls her eyes. So I just don't interfere with whatever stupid decisions they make, unless they affect me directly. She is also that type who takes things for granted and expects it. The sad thing is, I don't think she'll ever learn.

Your boobs won't stay so ginormous when you milk comes in. They will settle down within a few days.

Well done Molly, you're doing so great, keep it up!

Still full of cold but going to work today. Didn't get much sleep as DS woke us up at 3am, and then DP just kept snoring, so it took a while to get to sleep again. At least I did!

Thanks carrot, will hold off on replacing bras and see what size they end up! Get well soon

Thanks for wise words ladies. It's so frustrating. I need to stop trying to save them though, you're right. Also need to remember they aren't my responsibility.

37 weeks today! Baby is officially fully cooked! It has celebrated by staging a boxing match between it and my internal organs.

No reflux this morning... Hoping that's the omaprezole and not a coincidence.

Must get up and have breakfast. Midwife today. Got told off for not having eaten breakfast last time. Trouble is, my bed is just too damn comfortable.

HOney Thinking back to my twenties (through the hazy mists of distant time!) I think I only learned not to do certain ridiculous things by doing them and suffering the consequences! Must be hard to stand back as they've got a baby but maybe they need to help themselves and get out of a few sticky situations before they grow up a bit. Oh and surely the baby shower would be worth it just for the comedy eyebrows? :)

Good list Pretz! I especially liked the science teacher foof washer! (Are you a science teacher?!)

Mermaid I'm going to do some slut drops at aquanatal this eve! I was doing yoga (no slut drops involved) and finding it a bit sedate for this stage in pregnancy, think I still need to move around a bit more!

The last few nights I've had some epic bad dreams –really awful stuff that seems to last the whole night about nuclear bombs dropping (after watching Donald Trump documentary and actually becoming terrified he might stand a chance to becoming elected!) and then last night one where I was exposed as the fake author of a book and my career/life came crashing down etc etc!

I woke up from both convinced this was my new reality –horrible!!!

Not enjoying this hormonal vivid dream week, I still feel a bit odd now!

Oh bumsticks. Why do I always forget to catch my piss just before I have a MW appt?

Good tips Pretz and very glad the Armadillo is working out to be a star buy!

Glad things are going well Molly. GX for good times ahead.

I had a lunchtime meeting today so ate my lunch at 11am. Lunch time meeting has now been cancelled. Fuming.

Had the midwife this morning. Apparently according to my scan notes (that I didn't read) my placenta is anterior. So I shouldn't freak if I don't always have loads of movement. Phew. I had noticed movement is never the same two nights in a row - some evenings it feels as though it's going cray, others it gives the odd flick.

Pee the Donald Trump dream nightmare could become a reality!WAHH! Pretty certain you're not a fraud author though . My dream last night was that I didn't really want to go to a restaurant my friend had picked and I was trying to get out of the commitment. Really dramatic, yep.

Boobs have also outgrown my 32DD over the shoulder boulder holder. I have four boob, which is never a great look. Must buy more. Actually want some attractive underwear for mine and DH's last ever romantic mini break next week. Is it even possible to look attractive in underwear with giant swinging boobs and a bloated stomach? I'll let you know. I have a feeling much of it is going to be relying on the dimmer switch.

Wah. General election called back home and I'm going to be too pregnant by 5 days to fly home and vote. Down with this sort of thing.

Where is home for you again Tri? Can you do postal voting from over seas?

Feathered Sounds like you boo-abs are getting highly impressive! and oh no! You will of course need a second lunch at around 2pm –every cloud! The Trump thing is baffling and terrifying. I hope it's just the media making a story out of nothing, like they did with UKIP over here.

Also, despite his obvious nut case tendancies, how can a man with the name TRUMP be taken seriously in any capacity?

My placenta is apparently anterior at the mo so might not feel anything for ages. Although, lying awake after fake author nightmare I had some strange feelings ... it was either baby movements or my dinner digesting. Sort of like farts rippling in my tummy. Is that what first movement feels like?

Yes! First movements for me definitely felt like gas moving about!

And yes. Every time I see the Trump tour bus with "TRUMP" emblazoned across it I snigger. It's so funny. I guess TRUMP doesn't have the same meaning in the US. It can't. No one would be able to say "my office is in TRUMP TOWERS" without a little laugh, surely.

Crappola that you won't be able to vote Tri! Assuming home is in the US?

Trump is taken seriously because he's a billionaire. In the US they are obsessed with lobbyists "buying" votes off politicians... With justification, it has to be said. So the fact that he's a billionaire already allows him to say he "can't be bought" which is a popular thing.

The fact that he's an ignorant knob does seem to have escaped them though.
