in Pregnant after a Loss
I woke up this morning to a BFP!  I am going to call my doctor today to get my betas drawn, but I have a slight delima.  I have a friend in from out-of-state and we are having dinner for girls night tonight at a Mexican Restaurant.  I know everyone will be drinking margaritas except me.  Any tips what I should do?

    Get there early and tell the waiter to only bring you virgin drinks? That's a tough one!

    No one says you can't order a drink with the rest of the girls and just NOT drink it... Seriously, no one will notice.

    If I get there early, I don't know that they will seat me before everyone else arrives, and I won't know who the waiter is before sitting at the table. 

     My friends will definately realize if i I order a drink and don't drink it because they know i am (was) TTC .  My friend from out-of-state will probably even take a taste of my drink to see if it has liquor in it. 

    I hope it all works out!  My husband and I plan on waiting a little while before announcing because of what happened last time.

    Could you just go up to the bar and get a drink before anyone else gets there?  Or maybe you could ask who your server will be?  Good luck tonight and congrats on that BFP!  We are all so excited for you! :)

    Congrats and welcome!  Once seated, get up and go to the bathroom, find the waiter and tell them to only give you virgin drinks.

    You can also say your on antibiotics and can't drink, or that you have a headache and don't want it to get worse from drinking.

    Congrats!

    Try to snag the waitress early and say you want a virgin drink?

    Good idea about the antibiotics... I recently had a very minor surgery on my leg and I was taking medicine to make sure i didn't get an infection.... I'll just say that I can't drink on the medicine from that (if I am not able to snag the waiter before).

    Congratulations! I would say I had a headache and margaritas would probably not help.

    Congrats!  I agree with the others--say that because of the medication you will have a virgin drink.

    I don't have any advice on not drinking, but I wanted to say congrats and my dog has the same bee costume. She was not happy when I put her in it :)

    Congrats!  You can say you're on some medication and can't drink alcohol with it, or get there early and order a virgin margarita and drink it very slowly throughout the night.
