Need ideas...

How can I keep people from figuring out I am pregnant when I go out with them? We have a going away party this Thursday and I am not one to turn down a drink....WDYT? Lame excuses like I don't feel well probably won't work because my friend is watching me like a hawk ha ha.

Did you JUST have an ear infection and you're still on antibiotics?

I drank WAY too much last night and the thought of alcohol tonight makes me sick

I'll be in the same situation Friday, so I'll either say this or I'll order whatever beer my husband is drinking, pretend to drink, and switch off with him at some point.  It's going to be much trickier  when we go away with friends for the entire weekend in a few weeks. I still don't know what I'm going to do.

Depending on the circumstances, unless you're one to ALWAYS have either beer or wine, you could order directly from the bartender a club soda & lime (could pass for gin & tonic or vodka tonic), watered down cranberry juice garnished w/a lime (cape cod/vodka & cranberry), or coke/diet coke w/a lime (rum & coke).  

My friend was sneaky when she had just found out she was pg and it was too early to share w/anyone - and none of us caught onto this little move when we were out for dinner...  the waitress came over to take our drink orders, pg friend ordered a vodka tonic, then excused herself a moment later to go to the bathroom.  Apparently she flagged down the waitress and asked that hers be made w/out alcohol but to not make mention of it or charge any differently when the bill came.

She should be some sort of secret agent or something! I would never have thought to do that!

I did this exact thing with my last pregnancy for several months - I used the cranberry vodka one, because I actually like drinking cranberry juice by itself!

Or you could just say you're the driver that night... depending on if you think that will work I like everyone else's ideas though too!

I am trying to figure something out, too.

 

Our wedding is about a week before we'll announce the pregnancy so I think I'll just pretend to be drinking....
