If you haven't told family/friends yet...

in Pregnant after a Loss

How are you handling Christmas weekend? 

We'll be with my family all weekend and Xmas Eve generally involves lots of drinking and eating.  People will instantly notice if I am not drinking but we're really not ready to make any sort of announcement just yet.  I am thinking I will just have to fake it.

    Good idea - I can totally pull off a fake gin & tonic!

    I'm either going to fake it...unless we go to the daiquiri shop.  if we go there I'll have to claim an upset tummy or being too tired from traveling.  I pulled the tired card in right during a girl's weekend right after we found out and it worked like a charm...especially after telling them I'm a real witch when I get too sleepy.

    I've been discreetly drinking decaf coffee (this family is big on coffee after dinners). But these are some fab ideas! Good luck!

    I'll be faking it.  I actually didn't have to this past weekend at a family Xmas party.  I really did end up sick.  Apparently this one doesn't like sparkling apple cider.  Ooh, it did me in and I was stuck in the bathroom for some time.  Made it more believable that I wasn't feeling well.  Oh but it was so hard to be around my SIL who is only 2 weeks ahead of where I would have been had I not m/c.  The hard part was everyone oohing and awwing about baby stuff and saying how she has their grandchild in her belly blah blah.  It was so hard not to say something.

    There's no way I can really fake not drinking since the only alcohol I ever drink is wine, and Xmas Eve dinner is at my mom's house so I don't know how I would sneak in some nonalcoholic wine to pretend with.  I guess I am just going to politely decline and hope no one makes a big deal about it.  If asked I'll probably just try to blame it on not wanting to be tired on Xmas Eve with a big day in the morning.  Then maybe I can fake it on Xmas day dinner at my house.

    You could always say you're on antibiotics and can't drink alcohol....say you had a sinus infection or something like that.  That is my back up plan!
