How do you...

...hide being pregnant from friends? I am 5 weeks but we're not going to tell anyone until at least 8 weeks. I feel as though i'm running out of excuses as to why i'm not drinking, etc when DH and I go out. I don't want to be a hermit staying at home every weekend, but i'm tired of hearing "why aren't you drinking?" I've already used the "I have a horrible headache" and "I have to work tomorrow (when I really don't)" excuse. How did you gals do it?

I hid it last night by saying that I was taking meds that I wasn't able to drink on. ?It worked for them, but luckily we have plans with different people every weekend until 8 weeks when we plan on telling people, so it won't be as weird. ?Unfortunately, one of those weekends is a wedding, so that is going to suck.

i told everyone i was going to loose five pounds and so i had to cut out drinking because there were too many calories, people bought it.

I just told people why I wasn't drinking but here are a few ideas to hide the truth.

Drink mocktails

Say you are on antibiotics

Say that you had a bad experience drinking and that you can't stand the thought of drinking for awhile.

to me its more like, I am 32 years old and If I dont want to drink then I dont. I dont need to make up excuses because I dont give in to pressure.  Just tell them you dont feel like drinking.

Any suggestions for mocktails?
