Hiding pregnancy to friends and family?

Anyone else having trouble hiding pregnancy from family and friends?? My friends usually get together at bars and I usually have a glass of wine with family. Now I can't/won't and I feel like I can only do this for so long before they figure it out. Also, my mood swings and fatigue are out of control and I get side ways glances a lot. Any advice? I'm just not ready to spill the beans just yet.

    Hi there, I'm having the same issues. I'm with friends and family all the time and never turn down a drink. So now, I purchased non-alcoholic wine or grape juice to fill my glasses with, or my husband makes me a vodka and tonic, minus the vodka. No one has caught on yet! Not sure what I'll do when we go out to a restaurant... Maybe talk to the waiter privately? It's definitely getting harder now that I have MS too.

    If I get m/s I don't know how I will hide it. I'm a SAHM but go on play dates with friends multiple times a week. It's going to be pretty obvious if I'm throwing up!

    I had a few occasions while we were ttc but hadn't found out yet so wasn't drinking incase I was pregnant and I got quizzed a bit by colleagues. I told some that I was just trying to get healthy and another one I just went along with it and said yes I am actually! She didn't believe me anyway because I was acting like it was a joke and I'm pretty sure it worked! It's my birthday next week so I'm just planning to act like I'm sick or on antibiotics. Hopefully after all that they'll stop asking ;)

    My mom and my tradition is baileys and coffee in the morning when I come visit. Got here Saturday and we're not telling parents til Wed when DP and his mom gets here. This suuuuucks!

    But I blamed him and said we both gave up caffeine and alcohol while we were apart this month to try and get healthier. I told her I'd B&C it on Thursday once he gets here. By then she'll know the real reason why. :)

    Did the "fake" whiskey dry with the boss man though.

    I had to tell my immediate family... I'm type 2 diabetic and they would know something was up b/c I would be eating differently... Not only that but they new my husband and I were doing IUI's and have been praying for us... I have a friend that hid it for 5 months! She was in good shape and didn't have much of a tummy till later!!
