Waiting to tell work

rfunsten

I am 5wks along and have a stressful corporate job that requires lots of dinners out, traveling, and corporate happy hours. I am already known as someone who always drinks at least a couple glasses of wine while we are out. I have been avoiding some situations, but obviously can't get out of all of them. Any advice for how to keep this a secret while not being awkward?

It’s always awkward when you’re put on the spot to order a drink. If I’m going out I try to get there early or go up to the bar to order and get a virgin Caesar or something like that and sip it for a long time. Usually if you’re drinking something people don’t generally question what it is, it’s just hard when you’re forced to order in front of a group of people, you have to figure out a way to be clever!

I used to discreetly pull the bartender aside and told them the situation, I’m pregnant but don’t want anyone to know , and they would just bring me mocktails all night
