**** April 2019 mummies ****

[night owl]

I’ve got quite a few social events in August, got an afternoon tea with champagne, a spa day with prosecco, another night out with girl friends who I’ve known for years, and a work event with colleagues, I’m wondering how the hell im going to get through all of this without drinking but without arousing suspicion about not drinking!

 

[Laura butchers]

My sister and the hen know that im pregnant. I had to tell them, although think they wouldve guessed as i wont be drinking. The other girls just think im not drinking as im driving and need to get back home at a reasonable time to relieve baby sitter.
Its so hard not to tell anyone isnt it! Roll on 12 weeks scan so i dont have to think before i speak. Haha!

Good luck night owl, that’s a lot of events to get through without letting the cat out of the bag. Do you have a close friend going to any of the friend ones that you could let into the secret to help cover for you? That’s what I did at a wedding last time. I basically said if anyone gets me a drink I’ll hold onto it for a while then pass it to you and I’ll take your empty!
Any you can drive for or say you’re on antibiotics or something? Or just say you’re not feeling well.

 

[night owl]

Yeah they definitely would have guessed, I just don’t know how I’m going to get round all of this, I’m even with wondering if there’s any way I could pretend I’m drinking but tip it away when no ones looking! I could go to the bar on my own and order non alcoholic cocktails, just thinking about the spa day too, I could say I can’t go in the steam and sauna cos I wear contact lenses and maybe just sit on the edge on the jacuzzi with my legs in but not my body, and maybe say I’m hungover so get a cup of tea instead of the glass of prosecco, oh this is going to be difficult! They are good friends so would be happy for me and supportive If I told them but just feel like I’m going to jinx myself if I do

Well its a few different friendship groups and the stuff is booked for my birthday so I can’t back
out of it! It wouldn’t be the end of the world if I told a few close friends but I’m just so scared of something going wrong again, no one knows about the MC except my mum and OH no one even knows I’ve been trying I just wouldn’t want people’s pity if it goes wrong,

I think I might drive for the afternoon teas and make an excuse like it’s cos I have to go somewhere later that day

Agggghhhh I’m not using Tapatalk again what a nightmare

It’s so hard when you have an event to go to.

I had a retirement party for an ex work colleague last night. I lied and said I had to drive as my husband had to go back into work at 11pm lol

It’s so out of character for me not to drink I did wonder whether deep down they were thinking it was more than that lol

Got my 3+ on a digi today so it’s nice to see everything is going in the right direction. I have been so achy this time it’s worried me

Yeah it’s going to be really out of character for me not to drink especially considering most of these events are for my birthday! I’m going to have to think up some good excuses

I’ve had loads of aches and pains too, lower back ache seems to have gone now but getting some sharp shooting pains in the sides, hope it’s just stretching pains because the embie is growing nicely

I’m nervous to do my next digi, I got 2-3 at 14dpo so hoping things will continue progressing nicely, I should get 3+ early next week but might give it a few extra days and maybe use it thurs, then I’m done with testing!

Thank You! Nice to have others to chat to
I have already been up and down to EPU I have a history of ectopic and began with very bad back pain and some light brown spotting on Tuesday. My hcg was taken it was 93 obviously too early to see a pregnancy. Pain has eased loads and spotting seems to have stopped fingers crossed. They had me back on Thursday and my hcg was 266.3 just feeling so anxious and knicker checking every 5 mins xxx

 

[Mummymoreton]

I am booked in this coming Thursday for another scan they did scan me Tuesday but called it a pregnancy of unknown location. There was some free fluid but they said it could be normal xx

 

[night owl]

Oh what a nightmare mummymoreton, sounds like your hcg is rising nicely though which is a good sign, I bet things are going in the right direction, I know what you mean about the knicker checking every 5 mins that’s me all day after having a chemical and miscarriage this year I’m super paranoid, these early weeks are so stressful aren’t they, I hate to wish my life away but I’d happily just fast forward time to 12 weeks right now!
