Faking It 4 Thanksgiving

Nzamorw · November 2015

Who's keeping it a secret and how do you think you'll manage keeping it with the nausea???!!

Cubslove12 · November 2015

We were going to however, we second guessed last night and I think we're going to tell my In laws tomorrow.

dolewhipper · November 2015

I'm not keeping it a secret (having a friendsgiving with close friends who already know) but I am worried all this work I've put into my food will be for nothing. I woke up feeling incredibly nauseous.

sboston06 · November 2015

We are announcing our news to DH's mom and siblings at dinner today. After that we'll go to my family's house for dessert and pie. Most of my extended family will not find out until Christmas. I haven't been feeling nauseous at all so I don't think it will be hard to keep a secret from too many people. The most embarrassing part of it has been the weight gain. I have gained and lost weight many times, and I feel like I need to validate my gain - like HEY, I'm not just getting fat over here...I'm growing a person!

ThePolishHammer · November 2015

We're seeing some of my family tomorrow. My mom already knows, so I just have to keep it hidden from my brother, his gf and my grandma. The hardest part will be having another excuse for not drinking wine!

KASG · November 2015

We were gonna tell his parents today, but we decided to tell my mom first...at Christmas. He wants me to get a sonogram to show them, but my appointment isn't til January. We'll figure it out.

momtobejuly2016 · November 2015

Well this year we are staying home. My moods are a little crazy and worries about how things were going to be cooked properly. We told my family that we are going to his family's place (out of town) and his family just the same story. We're planning to tell our family at Christmas. Keeping it a secret till end of January for friends and Colleagues. Do u ladies think I should also wait to tell grandma Aunt's uncle's and cousins till January as well? our first appointment is Dec 21 so hopping to get an ultrasound

danis10 · November 2015

My appointment is Dec 21 too, and as long as everything looks good, we'll tell all family at Christmas. Not sure how today is going to go though, I'm already nauseous and I'm not sure how to keep the fact that I'm not drinking from everyone. Pretty sure I'm going to accept a glass and have DH drink it.... Fingers crossed that it works.

PeggyOlsonFTW · November 2015

I'm either planning to tell everyone I'm hungover from having too much fun last night or I'm on antibiotics for something... But I can't decide what. What's convincing enough but people won't be worried about me being on antibiotics for?

momtobejuly2016 · November 2015

that's a wise decision to have dh drink your's because the other day we when out some friends and the could tell I have changed and are asking my husband if I'm pregnant. I'm normally full of energy and drink lots but not anymore.

Ashers423 · November 2015

I wanted to keep it a secret but my immediate family will be finding out today. There is no way they will not question me not having wine with dinner or touchdown shots tonight when the Green Bay packers score. Gosh, I'm
Nervous

Ashers423 · November 2015

Oh and we are just going to show up.... I bought a very discrete "big sister" hair bow for my soon to be 2 year old daughter to wear
We'll see how long it takes anyone to notice

holly142 · November 2015

We are telling family today. I would rather tell them before they suspect anything. My daughter has a Big Sister shirt to wear! I can't wait!

A sinus infection. Tell them you've been on the drugs for 2 days tho so you're not contagious

Or tell them a UTI, you can't drink with that antibiotic and you can't catch it... Also no one is going to check!

netsirk2013 · November 2015

The fact I don't like the majority of the family I am seeing today, we are not sharing. I'm only 5 weeks too. So keeping it a secret will be easy. I hate unsolicited advice, soooo for as long as possible it will be a secret between my husband and myself.

erin7264 · November 2015

No faking it here... we're just telling people as it comes up. Immediate family already knows, and I told them it was fine if they told family but just don't put anything on facebook about it. As for the nausea, mine was really minor anyway but the Sea Bands rock and I've been wearing them most of the week. Definitely worth the $15 or whatever it was.

fleurdelakeview · November 2015

We are keeping it a secret and it's going to be hard because I have friendsgiving with a bunch of friends tonight. I'm going to be offered an alcoholic beverage for sure so that might be a tell... Fortunately, my friend (who is hosting) is pregnant so I think I might just act like I'm staying sober to support her and that will probably do the trick. I'm actually more worried about nausea and fatigue because the party doesn't start until 8pm and I fade at like 9:30 so we'll see. It should be interesting!

elldel · November 2015

We're keeping it a secret until Christmas; I'll be about 9 and a half weeks then, so we'll feel comfortable telling family then. Today, I'm sipping on cranberry juice and Sprite in a wine glass and pretending to get my drank on.

Taymiller · November 2015

We have told everyone.

Croscrew · November 2015

We are keeping g the secret until Christmas. Currently only 5w5d, so it doesn't seem worth it to me. Plus, we are with lots of extended family and right now we only would want our parents to know and don't want to put them in the position where they feel the need/want to tell others. It is sssooo hard though!

Allison7 · November 2015

We are keeping it a secret. I faked the toast at dinner and just took one sip. No one noticed. We will be alone for Christmas, so no need to hide anything there. I think DH wants to wait until we have Verifi test back before we tell anyone, so I might have quite a few weeks before we spill the beans.

msuzannah · November 2015

I've only told my parents and DH's parents but "lucky for me" I'm too sick to go to the big family thanksgiving. My mama told everyone that I have a stomach bug and a nasty bladder infection... Which isn't exactly a lie

Christmas is when I'll be almost out of the 1st tri so that's when I'll tell people!

HookEmNelson · November 2015

I'm the worst secret keeper of life. So as of today, our very close knit/inner circle/trustworthy family members know. My thought is: support of any kind is what I need or will need down the line. We will announce further out around Christmas to extended family and friends.

KASG · November 2015

I went to a thanksgiving dinner party kind of thing tonight. They did shots at 9:30 and no one even batted an eye when I turned it down. Thankfully I wasn't the only one, but I was prepared to give them the "I'm driving" or "I'm sober" lol

netsirk2013 · November 2015

I wore my normal red lipstick and carried a glass if wine with me everywhere. Only had 1-2 sips the whole time, but left mutiple red lip marks all over the glass. This will be my plan for christmas as well. Easter will be our big family announcement. We don't see them very often. Not going to hide it, if people find out before I start showing fine. We just don't want unsolicited advice the whole time. We had little to no privacy our last pregnancy.
