We've had birthday 'twins' and there'll be real twins come the summer!...mini-eggs and GTTs abound on the JSgrads' 45th fred!

[5hell]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 45th 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 44th grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 58th 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.

for all the Viroids with nobbers this weekend....

Spent yesterday at a multiple birth antenatal class which was so interesting and useful. I feel so much better about a lot of the birth stuff and what happens when you get babies home etc. They did a great section on mental health and what DHs can do for you etc and we had lots of handouts and leaflets etc.

Sorry to hear about DH's acting like bellends Fruit and Sky - nothing gets on my nerves more than DH steaming drunk whilst I'm stone cold sober.

DH did something that made me furious yesterday. We had an extended family lunch and during the course of the afternoon my aunt asked whether DH was going to be at the birth. I asked DH whether he definitely wanted to be at the birth a few months ago and was rewarded with a very new man response of a hurt looking face and "of course I do!" At the time we both conceded there was something to be said about a 1950s style dads-in-the-waiting-room-smoking-cigars none-the-wiser to the horrors of birth, but very light heartedly. Yesterday though, in front of all my family (who do not appreciate any kind of smutty joke) DH responded with "yeah....hmmmm....I mean I GUESS so, although Robbie Williams said watching his wife giving birth was like watching his favourite pub burn down."

I was fuming. He was clearly trying to look like a real "lad" (he's not) and just sounded like a knob. Funny thing to say, totally totally wrong audience. No one laughed except my sister.

Not Sky, meant Pee

pooh baby birthed - phew!!!!

Oh thank goodness 5hell - I've been waiting for news

I hope lovely honey is ok.

Feathered that sounds like a pillocky man thing that deserves an

I am alone in the house. I just ate a mammoth goats cheese salad with a bagel on the side and a pack of strawberry bootlaces. I said I'd take DS over to see my folks later but I really really don't want to.

I think I'm gonna take a nap now.

at all the idiot DH/DPs. Feathered I thought the Robbie Williams comment was funny, but would die if DH said it in front of my parents' generation!

On the skiing topic, had a heartbreaking e-mail from one of my best friends, who is organising this year's trip (we're going in just under a month, but I won't actually be skiing). I'd told her I was pregnant after my scan at 7 weeks because I didn't want her to book lift pass etc for me, and she was so excited for me. Turns out she actually found out she was pregnant a couple of days after me, and would have been due within a week, but has had an MMC and had an ERPC last week. She's obviously devastated but has been so sweet to me, saying she didn't want to upset me or stress me out at all, and wants to spend the week not skiing with me, as she doesn't feel she can face hitting the slopes. I really hope that this doesn't end up becoming an issue between us. I want to send her something (she doesn't live in the UK) to show I'm thinking of them, but not sure what, if anything, would be appropriate?

LOL thurs! ...sorry for the TMI :)

i too am home alone as dh is out riding, was waiting for him to have lunch together, but don't think i can wait any longer

I'm afraid I am the most obnoxious person in my household the sugar withdrawls did not bring out the best in me...

To those with pillocky husbands my advice is a word when they have recovered from hangovers. I know that sounds counterintuative but you want them in a state where feeling sorry for themselves won't interfere with their understanding of how they've made you feel...

Oh sock your poor friend. I think the fact she's choosing to not aki with you is a good sign that it won't come between you. Just don't do what my idiot bff did...within a breath of me telling her I'd just come from blood test at hospital to confirm my mc she was telling me when her 12wk scan was booked for. Our babies would have been a month apart but instead I was doing ivf transfer 2 while she gave birth.

Congrats on the poo baby 5hell :)

My mum is wallpapering my lounge, dh is finishing painting nursery. I'm sat on my ass feeling useless!

5hell poo baby congrats here too....my plan of All Bran and dried apricots every day has stopped working, so I know how you feel!

Have managed a trip to B&Q and Tesco with M, but I'm knackered now and think I'm going to go for a nap!

Oh how sad sock... I guess she just needs some time and space, hopefully she'll be able to conceive soon and it will be a distant memory...

Glad you found the class helpful merm, your head starts spinning when you plan for one child, can't imagine what it's like for two!

Lil, mini hooya for you, you are doing the hardest job of them all - growing a human. So put your feet up and have some

Got arse rain. Not sure if it's a clear out, or DS's bug from 2 days ago, but I had very little warning!

Yes I meant to say earlier Merm I'm quite impressed that there are 'multiple' ante natal classes. I'd never considered it before but it must be very reassuring to sit with other parents in the same boat. I'm really glad you're finding them useful.

I wonder if those bunged up viroids might benefit from a nice brewed coffee to help?! Even if you don't want to drink much caffeine I'm sure one cup couldn't hurt...in fact it might be even better if you've cut down...more effective maybe?!

carrot you keep leaving major hints that you're about to drop a baby.
But then I over eat pork scratchings, give myself a runny tummy and then convince myself I'm about to go into labour!

I keep getting interrupted by baby things, but before I forget sky I'd really recommend you join a group called Gestational diabetes UK mums on Facebook, I found them really helpful. And for you, it is hard.

Thurs they are run by TAMBA, and are one off days, but are so useful! We were told not to bother too much with NCT/NHS classes as most of it isn't relevant to twins/triplets etc. E.g. We concentrated a lot yesterday on c-sections as we are all more likely to have them than a normal birth (60% of multiple births are sections) and discussed about having babies in NICU/SCBU as that's more likely too. No mention of home births/water births as they just don't really happen with twins.

Ugh, I think it's a bug/upset stomach thing. I feel ok, no cramps or anything, but the noises my stomach is making are pretty terrifying...

Thank you pretz! A lurker found me on here and clued me up! They saved my butt. The first few days were hideous but I am feeling really good now and getting used to eating this way. Thinking to possibly carry it on for the most part post partum if I can... after a few post birth cheat days naturally...

Oh Carrot, the worst! Poor you. Try to get lots of fluid down you and rest up.

Lil your Mum hangs wall paper??! Cripes! Is she available for hire?! We just had our decorator round to price up painting the outside front of the house, the walk in wardrobe (aka baby's room....humph) and the junk room (what will eventually be our bedroom!). Decided we can paint our current bedroom ourselves. God knows how much the quote will be! If I wasn't preg I'd def give another bedroom a go!

I'm absolutely, completely exhausted today after waking up 3-4am last night. Making me nervous about how I'm going to cope when the baby arrives.

Mmmm. Strawberry bootlaces Thur.

Oh GOD can you tell I'm tired? "The junk room (what will eventually be our room)."

I hope you know me well enough to realise that I'm shuddering at the grammatical butchering I committed on that sentence.....

Oh Sock just saw your post. Your poor mate! Sure it won't be a problem between you. One of my best friends got her BFP the day I started miscarrying. Never felt anything but happiness for her (and normal jealousy) She then miscarried (late) the day I got my next BFP. She was super depressed and didn't want to see me..... But we got through it and closer than ever (and she just got another BFP from round 2 of IVF). I suppose my point is all you can do is be there for her and offer support/space as and when she needs it.

Yeah I agree with Feathered, sock you need to be led by your friends actions and behaviour. Some people might need space, others a little help to live vicariously through you. It sounds as if she wants to spend time with you, which is positive.

sock that sounds hard, hugs for you and your friend!

My friend has had her baby! A gorgeous wee girl with lots of hair can't wait to go visit for snuggles, but might be a while as she had a very hard labour and ended up with 2 blood transfusions apparently her and baby are fine, just a little worse for wear.

Eeek can't believe I nearly missed honey doing a baby!

Doing a booty shaking baby dance for honeydrop to make an appearance soon... we are all cheering for you honey!

sock that is a terrible feeling! I don't know if anyone would remember in September I was all excited about my BFF getting her BFP with the spare test from my BFP... well I didn't say anything on Fred but she had a private scan which showed an ectopic pregnancy and then started bleeding a few days later I felt really bad discussing anything pregnancy related with her and asked first before giving her any news or posting about pregnancy on FB. She decided not to try again right away which is the right decision for her. I think having been on both sides of the coin it is important to be honest and avoid patronising or excluding friends going through MC but to instead take their lead and be there to listen and reassure when they ask for your support or are rwady to talk.

OH MY GOD IM SO FED UP OF HAVING WATERMELON SIZED BOOBS

And on a slightly less me me me tilt - congrats to your friend kate. I had a blood transfusion after DS and that's when I started to feel better so hopefully your friend will be right as rain in no time.
