dumb pregnancy question...

wildgirl89

Ladies,

 Just got BFP for baby #2 (yay).  We plan to keep it a secret for at least a few weeks.  The problem is, I have plans to go out to dinner with two girl friends on Thursday. We do this once a month and always get drinks.  How do I get around this and not have a drink without them figuring out that I'm pregnant?

 TIA

Congrats!!!

say you need to drive, cutting calories, or order a drink then hunt down your waitress or bartender (pretend to go to the bathroom) and say make it virgin.

I'm not much of a drinker so have never had to use this excuse, but the one I always hear around here is:

"I'm on antibiotics right now and can't have alcohol while on the medication."  If they push you on what's up, telling them you have a UTI usually ends the conversation - and gives you a good excuse for frequent trips to the restroom.

get there early.  order a non-alcoholic beer in a glass and nurse it all night.  if they ask if you want another or something else, tell them your stomach is acting up or something.  congrats!

Is it like a bar-type place or a restaurant? If it's somewhere like Chili's, just mention how you are dying for a milkshake. Then guzzle it and act as if you drank it too fast and are "so full now."

i'd say get there early and order a drink that looks like an alcoholic drink and then when you want another, you can just say i'll have one more instead of what it is.

you can also get a shirley temple and tell your friends it's a dirty shirley and it's so good because you can't even taste the alcohol!
