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!

[fruitlovingmonkey]

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.

That's great chat and it's good the NHS offer extra monitoring for women with your history

Woooo chat! So happy for you, what brilliant news.

london so glad your scan was ok. I'm only 7lbs up from pre preg weight now at almost 34 weeks and have been measuring small all the way through....had a growth scan yesterday and all is fine, so I would agree with you that baby parasite takes what it needs. I'm definitely going to go easier on myself now, was feeling so guilty before the scan.

black sorry you're unwell, hope they get the antibiotics sorted and you're better soon.

sock glad things are looking up!

My baby's feet are rammed under my ribs today, it's really quite uncomfortable! Seeing the consultant to get my section date tomorrow.....wish me luck!

Pleased to hear the scans went well.

Hope you got your section date Canters and you are feeling better MyBlack. Hope Socklet is continuing to do well too.

I've annoyingly run out of heartburn medication and the chemist that has my repeat prescription is closed for the weekend. On the plus side, my new pram has arrived and my hospital bag is almost packed.

14th November which is 5 weeks today!! Can't wait to meet the little man!

My hospital bag is almost ready too, just in case. I'm getting increasingly uncomfortable and am so glad the end is in sight...

Socklet is doing well, thanks! He put on another 120g at his check on Saturday so we've been discharged from the midwife services, just going to Health Visitor drop-in clinic as needed. I'm also apparently healing up well. Today I had to go to the dentist for my root canal - it got started back in December but then the second stage had to be postponed when I found out I was pregnant. This meant leaving Socklet with DH for the first time, so I was a bit worried, but he slept through the whole time I was away!

DH goes back to work tomorrow, and is in fact going to be away in London for a long day, then going to Birmingham overnight Weds/Thurs - eep! My mum's coming down for Wednesday night though, so I'm not totally alone. I think we're getting the hang of the basics.

Canters - exciting to have a date! And look forward to being so much less uncomfortable, I didn't realise until the last week or so just how crappy pregnancy had made me feel; even with the sleep deprivation I am still less sluggish than I was in the last month or two.

Glad to hear about Socklet and that things are going well with you Sock.

My hospital bag is pretty much ready and will definitely be completed by the end of tomorrow as I am technically term on Wednesday!

Gosh, didn't realise it was so soon Fuzzy! Any signs of anything happening?

That's because time has started speeding along at a ridiculous rate! No sign of anything happening at all. Feeling very big and very uncomfortable now.

So close fuzzy!

I'm now almost 32 weeks - my legs have started to swell I'm mortified I think I might write a book - all the shit that happens to you in pregnancy that no one tells you about

MyBlackCat the only thing people ever told me about getting pregnant was morning sickness, which I don't suffer from, and the mythical glow, which I am sure is a lie. However, all the other horrible symptoms I get by the bucketload! Hope your swelling isn't too bad. I've been quite pleased with my minimal weight gain this time, although there is still time for me to balloon before the baby arrives.

Hope everyone is doing well.

The mythical glow is 100% a lie

I've been lucky so far but I do love a moan and am far to honest when people ask how I am - my current response is fat and uncomfortable

Hi, how are you all?
Not long now Fuzzy!
I have my 20 week scan tomorrow morning, so excited! Hope I can sleep tonight - had a terrible night before my 12 week scan. It was a mix of anticipation, nerves and excitement...

On the subject of symptoms and moaning... yes I totally agree pregnancy is no fun and I'm quite honest when people ask! I do say "it'll all be worth it when the baby comes" but it's as much to convince myself as them

Myblackcate I'm honest too! I am having pelvic girdle pain (though yoga and pilates is helping) and terrible constipation! I just say I'm really uncomfortable. I had no idea it would be like this so early on.

My nose started bleeding yesterday and I've been having a terrible headache for the past two days as well.

Happy Friday everyone!
My scan went really well, baby is definitely a boy and is all healthy

Good to hear all is well with your boy, Name.

I do not glow with pregnancy - the closest I get is the genuine smile I muster when I hit about 18 weeks and can tolerate a cup of tea again

Thanks chat
You can't be too far off 18 weeks now? 4-5 weeks to go??

Now the sex is confirmed I'm having another minor freak out at the thought of having a baby with a mini penis in there I know I'm being silly, I just always imagined having a girl for some reason, so having boy still feels strange. I'm sure it won't feel strange at all when he arrives!

Glad all went well with your scan Name.

Hope your symptoms ease London. Pregnancy can be really painful, uncomfortable and drag! On the plus side, at least our babies are happily and safely tucked inside.

Not long until you can have your cuppa now Chat.

At this time in 12 days I will definitely have my baby. Still need to come up with a name though...

Thanks Fuzzy
Do you have a shortlist?

Trying to put one together this weekend Name. She has to be called something!

Yep, fours weeks or so I expect. V tired this morning - DD has been up for three hours already. I've searched for theoretical houses while she's coloured in an entire colouring book.

Come live with us chat!!

goes back to stalking

Good luck with the shortlisting Fuzzy!
Let us know if you post in Baby Names, I love a good name thread

name congrats on your boy. I was exactly the same- had pictured a girl- and had a huge wobble after finding out he was a he. It's taken time but I can honestly say at 35 weeks I am overjoyed to be having a boy and can't picture it any other way now, I promise you it will all be ok.

black I hear you on the swelling! My pregnancy shocker is that morning sickness can return in the third trimester- I ended up spending a day in hospital earlier in the week having iv fluids and antiemetics as had got so dehydrated. I just keep telling myself there's only four weeks to go!

sock glad little guy is gaining weight and so glad you feel better post birth- I never appreciated how rough the end of pregnancy could be.

A good friend told me that the last few weeks of pregnancy are way harder than those first few weeks with a new born - I so hope she is right

I've got 8 weeks til due date, had my hair done today and my next appointment is two days before I'm due! If I cancel she will know why!

I also managed another parkrun this morning, I'm planning one more til I hang up my trainers until the new year. Pretty pleased that I ran the whole way and had a lovely chat with a lady about returning to running after giving birth.

I will be spending the rest of the day on the sofa with my legs elevated to keep the swelling down
