HELP! Going to a party (alcohol) and no one knows I'm pregnant....

Happymomtobe17 · January 2014

any advice how to politely decline alcohol without it seeming obvious? We're walking so I can't use "I'm driving" as an excuse. I plan to try to secretly have a mixed drink without liquor, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd really appreciate it!!!

We always said I was on antibiotics and I wasn't comfortable mixing the two.

I didn't drink often so I just say no thanks no need for explanation

Happymomtobe17 · January 2014

true. I'm so used to having one or two drinks when out that I've never had to just decline (at parties, I'm never at bars) But I don't think it's fishy for someone else to simply say no thanks. We haven't told our parents yet so I don't want a bunch of acquaintances knowing/suspecting first, so am probably reading into this.

So far I've just said that as my NY resolution I was going dry for a month to focus on fitness and nutrition!

I've always just bought a drink and either made my way to the bathroom with it, "lost" it or if DH is around have him drink for both of us. Everyone seems to jump to conclusions when a drink is turned down, so I just don't turn it down.

eh just pretend to nurse a drink and pass it on to h or dump it. Yea seems like a waste but taking a few sips here and there over the course of a party won't hurt you. If it was just me, I wouldn't mind declining because it's not really out of the norm. Another option is to just decline and say you aren''t feeling the alcohol... or you could claim you had too much to drink the night before.

Drink a glass of ginger ale and lie. Or walk around with a drink and spill it every now and then when no ones looking.

I ask my DH to get me a "vodka cran" with people around and he comes back from the bar with just cranberry juice and a lime wedge

I would say I'm cleansing my liver. I used to do that every once and a while. It's good for the body anyways. lol

Drink a vodka soda with a lime and hold the vodka

Or just hold a drink and occasionally switch drinks with your hubby so it looks like "your drink" is getting lower. I had to do this all week at a work meeting in Vegas. Good luck!!

My 30th birthday is just around the corner and I planned a party with my friends only days before finding out I was pregnant. Luckily the party is at my house, so my plan is this: fill an empty wine bottle with a non alcoholic wine and drink that all night so no one suspects! Now just to find a way to hide my giant boobs and insatiable hunger ...

Thanks everyone! It went great, I bought a six pack of saranac ginger beer (which is delicious) and looks just like beer! No one said a word
