Clever excuses for friends?

adamstentzel

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and constantly nauseous and hardly keeping food down. So of course all of my friends are suddenly asking me to go out to dinner and do all these things with them, which is the last thing I feel like doing. I'm pretty sure they are all just waiting for me to get pregnant again so using the excuse "I'm not feeling that well" or anything like it would probably be a dead give away. I'm not quite ready for everyone to know our big news yet, so I want to know how you avoided tipping your friends off too early? Any clever excuses I could borrow?

I am 10 weeks and constantly nauseous.  I have used the excuse that I have a bad headache caused by a sinus infection.  That gets you out of drinking too...just say don't want to mix antibiotics with alcohol.

You caught the flu

You have diarrhea.

Nobody questions somebody with diarrhea.

I hate when people ask me about the contents of my uterus...

PPs have given you good suggestions. I second saying you have had some stomach problems causing not so pleasant bathroom experiences. People won't question that for sure.

Yep. Diarrhea is a good excuse.

Explosive diarrhea always gets me out of a pickle...

Say you're doing a cleanse.

You already have other plans.

I've told friends that I over did it the night before and don't feel up to going out or drinking if we do get together.  It's also worked to say you're getting over a cold or feel like you're coming down with one.  People won't want to catch whatever you "have" and will be cool with you skipping out on events.
