We're handholding for the newly graduated viroids and handing out hooyahs to badly behaved miroids. Between womble pains and boobs with veins, some of us are still managing to shag! It's JS Grads 47!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 47th 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 46th grads thread is here

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 60th 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.

Going slower but still going well is good news Mer. How are you finding things though? This must be so tough for you.

I have my scan today and am absolutely terrified. Still no symptoms apart from a recent bout of headaches and a few spots. Am considering not going to the scan at all, especially since I will be alone as we don't have childcare for DD so DH has to look after her.

Peenut · 25/04/2016 13:15

Don't go anywhere Mer! I really like hearing about the babies when they make an appearance and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we want to know how you are all doing. I hope girls continue to make good progress and you get to tube feeding stage very soon. Also hope you carry on healing well and if at any point you feel wobbly (or not) we are all here for you Flowers.

Not surprised you have been having nightmares Sky! Sounds like you had a horrible time!

Oh my god Kate, I know what you mean! How has this happened? I'm 11 weeks to go now! A warning to newbie grads ... time literally disappears and before you know it things get very real!

Good luck today Fuzzy. Is it your 12 week scan? Let us know how you get on!

High fives Zyla nice to see you back on the baby train!

fruitlovingmonkey · 25/04/2016 13:19

Gx for your scan Fuzzy. Do go, hopefully it will put you at ease. Can your DH wait nearby?
Mer they are doing so well and so are you. I bet every day feels like an eternity to you but I think it has only been 10 days to us in the outside world! I'm sure they will come off the medication when they are ready and what a great feeling it will be to see the benefits of your pumping efforts.
Hope you get some answers to your allergies Sky.
How are you feeling now Kate, has work been ok? Guess you don't have long left until mat leave.
Nothing happening here. Went for a really long walk on Saturday but it didn't get things moving as I'd hoped. Guess I just have to be patient but I really don't want to go over my due date. We have now nicknamed him PartyBaby because he does most of his wriggling late at night. He kept me up until 1am with a womble rave last night and then I couldn't get to sleep until 3. Grrr...

Hope the scan went ok Fuzzy. I've got my 20 week one on Wednesday!

I went to my first aqua natal class today. I enjoyed it, though it wasn't as varied as previous general aqua fit classes I've done. Lots of the women seemed to know each other and I felt really awkward and wasn't sure if it was ok to speak to people or not. Confused Will be going back again and hopefully build up my confidence a bit!

Mer don't feel you have to go anywhere. I love hearing your updates and keep sending positive thoughts for your two little ones!

lildottie · 25/04/2016 21:17

Evening all.

yoga NCT was good, all the people seemed really nice and a couple of ladies I think I could get on well with. Looking forward to going this week, it's coming around fast!

mer glad the girls are doing well, even if things are slower than hoped it sounds like they are doing well.

fuzzy hope the scan went well today.

sky that 5 weeks has gone fast! Hope your tests five you some answers, though equally I hope you are well on the way to recovery and don't need the answers!

FuzzyOwl · 25/04/2016 22:09

Thanks everyone. Baby is fine and low risk for T13/18/21 which is great news. So relieved.

lildottie · 25/04/2016 22:18

Congrats on good scan and low risks fuzzy, excellent news

Mermaid36 · 25/04/2016 22:28

Huzzah for a good scan fuzzy!

AnotherRubberDuck · 26/04/2016 07:23

Hi everyone
Can I join the grads? Got my bfp about a week ago, still not really sunk in but think I'm due Christmas day!
My original JS DS is 10 months, I name changed when ttc no.2 so a few of you will know me as rm00054 Smile
Looking forward to being on this journey with you all. GX for sticky beans all around.

ZylaB · 26/04/2016 07:28

rm/duck hi! Congrats :)

lildottie · 26/04/2016 07:47

Congrats RM/duck, I remember you. Can't believe your ds is 10mo!!

Peenut · 26/04/2016 08:59

Congrats Duck! Can't believe we are getting into the Christmas babies! I seriously cannot believe how fast time is whizzing by this year!

Phew Fuzzy, that's great news, congrats! :)

I am officially a disorganised mess. Could not get out of bed this morning, lost track of time and then was so late for my whooping cough vaccine doctors appointment they cancelled it! Rebooked for tomorrow but I seriously feel like a hibernating hedgehog in the mornings! Now sat in work with streaky make up, tiny eyes and wet hair. Start the day as I mean to go on! Brew

I blame the three trips to the loo in the night, desperate for a wee but only actually doing a teeny dribble of pee.

Glad NCT went well Lil. I'm really looking forward to starting in two weeks!

Hope the ravey baby let you get some kip last night Fruit!

FuzzyOwl · 26/04/2016 09:43

Thanks everyone.

Congratulations Duck.

KateBeckett · 26/04/2016 09:58

Yay for a good scan result fuzzy

Congrats zyla and duck ! Lovely to have more grads around, I can't believe we're on to December due dates!!

sky I hope you are properly on the mend, and that you get some answers soon.

We have parent craft at the hospital today, I'm hoping for a tour of the delivery suite and to find out where we need to park when the time comes!!

pee I know what you mean about feeling desperate for a wee, and the tiniest trickle appearing! Very frustrating...

I hardly got any sleep at all last night- had to try and sleep propped up on a pile of pillows because I got really bad heartburn. Going to see if the pharmacy will take pity on me and give me some gaviscon today. Gx!

In exciting news, we are getting a dishwasher this weekend and I am so excited I might explode! Bleddy hate washing up!

Peenut · 27/04/2016 08:14

I will get to the doctors on time this morning. I will. Once I get my pregnant ass out of bed and put down this cup of tea ...

How is everyone this morning?

MyBlackCat · 27/04/2016 08:44

Congrats duck and glad scan was good fuzzy

I've got a scan this afternoon, it's for reassurance at 8 weeks after previous mc. I'm totally shitting it.

FuzzyOwl · 27/04/2016 09:34

Thank you.

Could you ask your doctor to prescribe something Kate? I had omeprazole last time and it just got rid of my awful heartburn altogether. It was amazing.

Hope you got there on time Pee.

Thinking of you MyBlackCat and sending positive thoughts your way.

Peenut · 27/04/2016 11:25

I did manage to get there on time –yes! Was a quick in and out jobbie, very nice nurse, just stabbed me in the arm and told me to go about my business.

Also did a task I've been meaning to do for two years –finally taken my wedding dress to be cleaned and boxed, two years on! I has some suspect sambuca stains on the front and mud up the back of it. All signs of a fun day really. No longer have space to have a huge bag hanging in the spare room. Make way for baby!

Hoping your scan is very reassuring Fuzzy and that you can do something nice afterwards!

SockQueen · 27/04/2016 14:58

Chilly day out on the picket line today, but lots of support - and loads of donations of cake!

Then had anomaly scan in the early afternoon, which all looks good (though on the big side, which I expected as I am!) and it's a boybee. Smile

CarrotPuff · 27/04/2016 17:20

Yay for boybee Sock!

I hope all was well on the scan black.

MyBlackCat · 27/04/2016 17:50

Scan went well which is a relief, measuring at 7+4 which is a week behind dates based on last period but spot on as I didn't ovulate until day 21 of my cycle which would set me back a week. Scanner lady pointed out a heartbeat but in all honesty I had no idea what she was pointing at, DH said It looked like a frog Shock

Feel cautiously happy but know there is still a long way to go and many more hurdles to get over.

Good news for your boybee sock hope everyone else is ok x

lildottie · 27/04/2016 18:00

Yay for good scan black! The risk of mc seriously reduces once you see the HB or sonographer does! I had a chart I found online that showed mc risk by gestation and to watch it going down really helped me. If u want me to link you let me know.

sock congrats on boybee! Glad scan went well.

Lilbean was wriggling so much at 5.30 this morning that I actually started dreaming about feeling it move before it eventually woke me up! So tired! I think I'm well and truly into the third trimester now! Lol. Typically it's been pretty calm all day! 2nd NCT tonight and NCT baby first aid tomorrow. Hopefully I can stay awake!

FuzzyOwl · 27/04/2016 20:06

Great news Black and Sock.

fruitlovingmonkey · 28/04/2016 07:00

Congrats and welcome back Zyla and Duck.
Yay for good scans Fuzzy and Black! Hope your little frog hangs in there.
Hooray for team boybee Sock. Did you manage to join the fb group in the end? I know there was some difficulty in adding you, in case you are wondering what happened.
How was NCT Lil? Hope you've got a friendly group.
Party baby's head is fully engaged now, is it bad that I want him to come soon so I don't have to schlepp to the doctor's office every few days? She has a new assistant who is a whirlwind of disaster. I'm just glad I don't need to have any more blood tests, I wouldn't trust her around sharp objects!
I bought prune juice yesterday after my doc having words about my weight gain. I just sat there like a naughty school child but afterwards realised that I've been massively bloated for a few days. I'm not fat, I just needed to poo!
The good news is Partybaby has grown a lot in the last week and is no longer a little squirt. Amazing how quickly it can change, worth remembering for Kate and any other viroids with small babies.
Well done Pee, sounds like you are getting organised now! Hope they can get your dress clean mine is still covered in booze stains too Blush

Ok, I need to stop peeing on sticks! I've done a ridiculous amount loads and they're all still positive, period should have started 2 days ago and the clearblue digital kne has moved from 1-2 weeks up to 2-3 weeks which is right, so I need to stop!
