Hello and How to Hide It?

Question

Hi y'all! I just got my BFP last Friday. 32, #1, worked with fertility doctor bc I have PCOS. We are SO excited!! That being said, I am high risk and we don't want to tell family until after the first ultrasound and friends until out of the first trimester. My inlaws are coming into town soon, and it's usually a cocktails and bottle of wine at dinner every day crowd. Any ideas on how to fake it/excuse myself without drawing too much attention? MIL already watches like a hawk bc she's wanted grandkids since our honeymoon! We can fake it with mock tails at home, but out to dinner is trickier 😰 tips?

Answer

You could 'go to the restroom' aka talk to waiter at the bar and ask them to only bring you non alcoholic drinks. OR you could be on a 'course of antibiotics' so unfortunately you can't drink, but hey you can be their chauffeur ;)

Answer

Many doctors recommend against alcohol when you're on antibiotics so you could always say you have some type of infection and are finishing up the antibiotic course so you can't partake.

Answer

I want the support around me if I miscarry. I tell my parents and close friends as soon as I got a BFP because that's who I want around me in time of need. No one wants to be alone.

Answer

If they know you are trying say your Dr recommended not drinking at all. .. I'm dealing with the same crap I said I started a medication that gives me a super upset stomach when I drink😊 good luck its hard when people are wanting to know!

Answer

Thankfully this hasn't come up for me yet, but when it does I plan on telling people that I'm following a new diet plan. Beer, wine and liquor are all empty calories and I've cut them out at other times when I wasn't pregnant. The other suggestions on here were good to so hopefully whatever you choose will throw them off you trail! Good luck!

Answer

My husband has offered to help make drinks a few times when we've been in a social situation, and he just "makes" me a club soda with lime, no one has noticed :) good luck!

Answer

Congratulations!

Answer

We suffered a miscarriage in June and we are now pregnant again. We told our parents once we got the bfp both times, they were so supportive when we miscarried and we want their support again either way. If you or your husband are close to your parents I recommend just telling them it makes it more exciting and they can be there for you whatever happens. We couldn't keep the secret from them!

Answer

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I think these will work :-) I'm sure their happiness will overshadow the being lied to ;-)

Answer

You could say you're taking medication
