how do I start a thread
resentfulsecondwife · 12/05/2020 04:51
hello,
I have been off mums net for several years, can someone tell me how to start a thread? I've come back on mums net because I need to talk anonymously and freely about problematic shit.

hi there - go to the topic you want to discuss, say, Relationships and right at the top, it says "Start a new thread within this topic" - click on that and write the subject and your message and then click "Create conversation" at the bottom.
if you are on your phone, use the Add Thread button on the toolbar at the bottom, or click on the downward arrow next to the topic title and click on Add Thread.

Hullo and welcome to MN.
What question did you want answering?
You may want to be more anonymous though, this is a fantastic space, and offers the ability to keep Real Life and On Line life separate.
Take care @Michaela88

Hi has anyone got any advice on how to get a 2yr old in to a bedtime routine with older siblings (9+12) in and out of house on a evening going to various clubs. We’ve just started putting in her toddler bed but as soon as the other 2 walk though the door she’s wide awake.

Hi there,
I am new to mumsnet and was hoping you could help.
My son has got a place at the following primary state schools: Christ Church Hampstead, Hampstead Parochial and St Lukes on Kidderpore.
Which would you recommend, do you have any advice, experiences to share. We would like him to go to an independent secondary school so I am not sure which state primary would be the best option.
All advice welcome, help please!

Hi, can you let me know if anyone else has had this . I have 2 clear blue ‘positives’ with a half positive line, one more prominent. I also have 2 very extremely faint lines on FR tests that barely even a camera is picking it up. But I promise it is there lol. Digital tests are not pregnant. I am not due my period for 9 days so I know it’s far too early to be testing but curiosity got the better of me. I am aware these could be evap lines but surely not 4 tests with 2 brands? My feeling is that it is so so so faint because it’s so early on. The FR tests one was taken yesterday and has today gotten a little less faint. Just curious to see what anyone else thinks or has experienced? I will be testing everyday for next 9 days. Please also be kind to me 💗

Hi @KP2306 - You've posted this on an old thread. You'd be better starting a new thread with a relevant title so people who have experience can help. The 'Conception' topic would be your best bet - follow the link and then choose 'start a new thread'.

I'm 39 yeard old and just found out that I'm naturally pregnant with my third child. My husband and I have been together for 10 years, we tried to conceive for more than 5 years before starting our painful IVF journey. First IVF round was NHS funded when I was 35 and ended in a very complex miscarriage that required 2 D&C surgeries. Then we had 2 more private IVF rounds which resulted in my two daughters at age 37 and 38. Now at 39 with two daughters age 16 months and 2 years and half I felt naturally pregnant for the first time in my entire life after 10 years of trying. This has always been my dream but it has come at the worst time of my life. I have two very young children. spent all our savings in IVF. my job is very unsecure at the moment as they are going through financial dificulties and I'm 39 years old! I feel really lost right now and I'm thinking about terminating this pregnancy but I'm not sure if I will ever forgive myself. This has always been my dream. Not sure what to do with my life and my family lives in Spain so I do not have much supportbor help

Hi @Clopez - you'd be better off starting a new thread, as you have posted on an old one. There is a topic for pregnancy:

If you go here and choose 'start new thread' you should get responses from people with relevant experience.

How did someone start a thread to ask how to start a thread if they didn’t know how to start a thread?
Have I lost my mind?
LoopDiL00p · 19/10/2022 13:43
@TastesLikeFlavourlessFizz
That's exactly what I came on to say.
Is this a pisstake?

Hello,
I’ve scratched our brand new bathroom floor tiles when moving the step ladders around. One of the legs on the ladder was missing the rubber shoe, and the metal
has left a few scratches. I’ve tried lemon juice, vinegar, WD40.
Any recommendations on how to remove before my partner notices!
AnApparitionQuipped · 11/11/2022 10:44
@GeordieInLondon Start a new thread in Chat with your question - include in your title that you want advice on removing scratches from bathroom tiles - and you will hopefully get responses. Follow this link and select 'start a new thread':

Has anyone else had an issue with baby cutting the bottom of their tongue with there teeth? I have a 10 month old who has a white patch under the tongue and I think it's abrasion from her teeth. I've been to the doctor and he said it may be that or thrush but he's not seen anything like it before really. I don't want to wipe out her immune system with anti fungal antibiotics if it's not necessary....

Hi, need some help.
I took this pregnancy test this morning on the day of my expected period. Can you tell me if it looks like a positive or is it negative?
This is my first baby so I have no idea what to expect.

Lots of people there who are expert at spotting lines on pregnancy tests!
I'm not an expert but for what it's worth, I can see a very faint line.
Best of luck!

I’m 9dpo and tested positive first thing this morning. Very strong line. But I’m scared it could be chemical?
I have tender breasts and slight cramping/tightness in lower side of my abdomen. This is my first time conceiving so just need so advice or reassurance. I don’t want to tell my partner yet, unless I know it is going to be a pregnancy.

Hi @ARB26
You will get more responses if you start a new thread in 'conception' - this is quite an old thread so won't be seen by many people. Follow the link below and select 'start a new thread' - use a title that makes it clear what advice you want and I'm sure you will get replies.

It certainly looks like a very strong line - I do hope it is a true positive for you and everything works out

Worried! I’m 10 weeks pregnant but haven’t told anyone yet as we want to wait until 12 weeks and we’ve had a scan. We don’t smoke and would very very rarely ever be around smoke or any smoky environments but tonight my recently deceased fathers friend came round to visit us and had 4 cigarettes while in my company in our kitchen with the back door closed. I was internally panicking at the risk of second hand smoke so put the kitchen fan on which likely sucked up some of the air but now he’s left I’m panicking like mad and feel guilty that I sat in the room and said nothing incase something happens the baby. Will this one time exposure to the second hand smoke be ok? I’ve googled it and all it keeps coming up is about miscarriage and birth defects and I’m panicking.
