Going for a girly weekend...

[mrsblue]

...and I have no idea how I'm going to hide the fact that I'm preggo!!

1) I am feeling really sick/empty/hungry in the morning and the only thing that makes it better is salty crisps - should I stick some in my toiletries bag and sneak them into the bathroom to munch on??

2) Wine is a huge part of our friendship. We like to drink a lot of it I don't really want to lie to them about being on antibiotics, and I don't want to say that I'm not feeling well as it will dampen the atmosphere...I'm thinking I'm gonna have to do the Coyote Ugly trick where you drink from one glass and spit it into a beer bottle!! Ridiculous!

Has anyone got any good ideas? xx

Drive
Say you're dieting
Say your on other medication that doesn't mix well with alcohol
Say you're hungover
Say you are on a bet with your mates/partner/workmate that your trying to see who can quit alcohol longest.
You go to the bar every time and buy lemonade but say it's gin ???

........quite feeble aren't they?! Sorry not got any better! I had the same problem last week. None of my friends actually asked me up front if I was pregnant but when I left (early) they ambushed my best friend and asked her (she knows). My friend told them that maybe but that she believed if I was I'd tell her when I was ready. So I suppose that's a good way to think of it- if they're close friends they might suspect but have the courtesy not to invade your privacy and ask you directly (?) just a thought!!
Good luck and have a fab time xxx

thanks for the tips!! I like the gin one! I wouldn't mind them knowing, but hubby wants to keep it a secret until we've told the parents. If they guess then I suppose it's not my problem! xx

definitely - i have the same thing in a few weeks - i was always a big drinker (not an alchy but i def like my drink ) and i know if i dont have drinks my friend will prob guess - but they would never ask me because (i hope) theyll figure that ill tell them when I am ready!
the gin is a good one - the coyote ugly one will take you the other way as you'll look like you are having twi drinks at a time..
its only at the beginning theyll notice...as they get more drunk itll be easier to hide - you'll just have to brush up on your acting skills as well that lemonade is alcoholic

I have exactly the same problem next month as its my cousins 21st and she'll probably be expecting me to be legless, but i havent decided whether i want to go or not as ill be too scared of her finding out im pregnant and reporting back to my aunt!

I would say ordering soft drinks but pretending they're alcoholic is you're best bet. Lime and soda and pretending it's vodka lime and soda is a good one as it looks exactly the same and should anyone else take a sip you can never taste the vodka anyway. Also drink slow saying you're pacing yourself and say you're chasing every drink with a glass of water so you don;t get drunk too quickly. I've had to do similar tricks in my 2WW.

Have fun xx

white grape juice in a wine glass!

I cleaned out a wine bottle put in some white grape juice and then when it came to me drinking i put it in a wine glass. my friends didn't have a clue!

You could also drink Dr pepper and say its amerretto and coke as it tastes exactly the same!
