We've got newbies to cheer us on, the February Warm-Up is complete, after waiting nine long months it's only bloody time for March Madness! Welcome to JS thread no. 46!

[ThursdayLastWeek]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 46th 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 45th grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 59th 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. I really hope that worked!

I believe all movements count lil - all the ripples and thuds and tickles and turns all = healthy baby

thanks for the reassurance lovely viroids lil you are so wise! as always! yoga yes I chundered it all up in one horrendous retchy go, mercifully feel fine today.
kate you had such a rotten time at the start I remember! 5hell thanks :)
excited for just if this theory is true!
are hot water bottles OK for early pg cramps? reaaaally craving one...

Oh and corgi, honestly you'll be amazed at how hardy these beans can be - I only ever get vomiting bugs when I'm pregnant but they continue to take the good stuff from you and carry on their own sweet way. Starting as they mean to go on

I believe you can put hwb on your back but not front corgi and in fact putting it on your kidneys is good for your chi (SP?)

Thanks Thurs, this bean moves alit more than I realised based in today's tracking!

yoga I'm so not a swimmer and until last week hadn't been since first tri and before that can barely remember, so nothing to compare to really managed 20 lengths, it feels nice, funny for bump to be weightless and hoping it encourages good baby positioning, ie not breech (find out tomorrow if position any better/easier to identify)

Lil I'm with Thurs. ..it all counts

It all counts lil!

I've found swimming absolutely lovely all the way through - still doing 1000-1200m 2-3 times a week and it feels really good at 37 weeks. Front of my pelvis starts to hurt if I do too much kicking though so I use a pull buoy about a quarter of the time.

Just back from watching Arsenal losing, definitely my last match before baby this time!

I booked my contact lens appointment today so I can get back to swimming. I was doing 50 lengths of local pool, which I was told by life guard is half a mile as pool smaller than 25m, in 30mins before ivf. Bet I can't do 10lengths now!

Well on the basis everything counts of tracked 71 "kicks* between 11.30am and 8.30pm today. That's way more than I expected, and doesn't include its dawn and dusk partying!

71!? that sounds like PLENTY lil!! :)

feathered hope nct was good, and worth staying up for. meant to say yesterday, I don't think you should stress too much about left/right/back sleeping, knees etc...just try to get comfy and relax

two birth announcements from friends last night ...unfortunately they don't live locally so I don't get to see them much, but their babes look gorgeous! broody sigh

Morning!

lilbean is a squirmer!

tri & 5hell I admire your activeness!

Woke up at 3 with terrible heartburn. Woke up half an hour ago again with lots of pressure downstairs. Made poo baby. Still feeling nauseus and a bit of back pain and pressure. Have consultant appt at 930! Might bring my bag. Please let today be our day!

I know 5hell, I was shocked! I'm always like "oh it's really quiet during the day" but apparently I don't usually pay enough attention!

Sorry sky cross posts! Gx for some action in your foof! Will check back in when I can today and see how you're getting on.

Waiting to leave for scan but dh is like a sleepy teenager this morning and is taking too long to get ready! Grrr

Gx for baby action sky

Good luck on your scan Lil!

Good job staying active 5hell and TriJo. I've been going to a pregnancy fitness class which involves a lot of bouncing on fitness balls but have been finding it hard to get motivated the past few weeks. I had to pay for it in advance which means getting value for money has been my prime reason getting me out.

Thinking of you this am lil hope you enjoy seeing lilbean!

Just seen consultant. Baby is engaged. Waiting to see midwife and discuss birthplan and get a sweep fisting They said they expect me to be in labour within 24-48 hours! Eeeeeeeee!

1-2cm dialated. Sent home to rest after sweep. Going to stop for a nice lunch on the way. Really fancy a posh kebab from the Middle Eastern place

Also treating myself to a nice lunch here - heading to the track cycling worlds at the Olympic velodrome this afternoon so I'm in Westfield at the moment eating a nice big plate of chicken pad Thai :D

Planning a lazy day tomorrow - have done a lot of things this week that I've been putting off for a while (applying for my passport renewal, going to the bank to sort my post-wedding name change 9 months late etc) so tomorrow I'm doing nothing.

Ooh gx Sky!

Good luck with scan lil, I'm sure it will be alright

3 in labour on the March thread too apparently... madness!

Oi Sky! Get back in the bloody queue!

I'm just jealous really. Loads and loads of BH for the last few days, but no real contractions.

Things slowly ramping up. Had a quick waddle round Asda getting some last minute things. Going to start timing contractions when we get home. Excited!

Ooh enjoy the cycling tri ...we went for wiggo''s hour record - hot but excellent :)

sky gx you're not kept waiting too long by your little one ...exciting!

Just waiting for mw

Enjoy the cycling Tri, I didn't even realise it was on until I saw an ad on the BBC at lunchtime.

Hope you're ok sky? How are you feeling?

DS had a very bad night last night, so we both managed to nap this afternoon after lunch. Have been fairly productive in spite of that - we made his bed frame, washed the new sheets, lunch and the house is tidy and straight enough for me not to be in melt down

Feeling strangely emotional because DS is behaving so oddly for him. His little toddler spidey sense knows something is up, even if he doesn't quite know what.

He's going to stay at his GPs for a few nights this evening. I hope he'll be ok.

well stand-in mw was lovely :) everything fine apart from position, which is almost definitely b2b and probably breech, but less sure about that so i have a scan next week (yay and nay simultaneously!!)

hooray for productivity thurs :) ...not the same, but dogs are being odd too, not helped by dh's absence this week
