Yippee I am pregnant for the very 1st Time!

[AnnaBelle]

Hi All,

Just wanted to tell the world - I got my
Never been pregnant before TTC for about 5 months - 36 years old.
Just so very excited!!
Looks like I am due mid March 2008.
Looking forward to joining a buddy group soon!!

No one knows we were TTC so my DH & I will have to be crafty little devils for
the next few weeks.
Anyone out there with some ideas on how not to make people suspect would
be very much appreciated. We are a very social couple and need some good
excuses & ideas on how I can not drink and not get caught!!

While we were TTC I would just have a glass or two with friends at dinner but now I don't want to drink a drop!!

Thanks xo
AnnaBelle
p.s If there is already a post thread about this issue could someone kindly direct me there- ta

Annabelle,
Congrats again i would say that i was on antibiotics - we all know you can't drink whilst on them! and if you see the same people after 1week to 10days just say you had to have another course of them as infection was not quiet gone its not unusual to have 2 courses of antibiotics.

Congrats - some of the 'excuses' the girls have given you are great !!! Hope it all goes well....

[~Kim~]

Have no excuses for you, but Congratulations!! Enjoy the journey!!!

[*MinKy*]

Congratulations!!!!!!!

I use the " Oh I'm doing a bit of a detox at the moment" excuse for not drinking...lol

Have Fun!!

[AnnaBelle]

Thanks Guys,

You are so kind & very clever!!
I love your suggestions & will use them for sure.
DH said he might actually do a detox & both of us won't be drinking(less obvious)
I will keep you posted on this one!!.

Smithy - Well done back to you!! I am close by due 14th March 2008 so I will look out for you.
Minky - Congratulations to you

Hi Annabelle- i just told everyone that I had started Weight Watchers and wasn't allowed to drink funny how i just got fatter though! not very good publicity for weight watchers!

[*EmJa*]

Congrats, wishing u all the best for a H&H Pregnancy

[Shanti]

Congrats! that's great news for you and DH!!! Hope you can hide it well until you are ready to tell the world!!!

[JellyBean]

Congratulations Annabelle. I too have decided to keep my preg a secret and am using the detox excuse for now. Makes you realise how deep alcohol is engrained in our society- pretty scary really. People look at you like you are an alien just because you dont want to have a drink!! Stick to your guns and just ulitise the excuses above- your body and baby will be ever so grateful for it!! Plus I'm sure everyone will appreciate the surprise later on. All the best. xx

Hi AnnaBelle - good on you both! We actually did a HPT today and it showed positive too!! Yay, SOOOOO excited - need to see docs prob Sat next week. AF due tomorrow but I don't think a test wwould show pos if not??!
When did you conceive? I want to know when I'd be due too, hoping for a March bub too.

[Mum2Furbabies]

Congratulations! Hope you have a fabulous pregnancy and can ward off those curious friends with those great excuses!

Lol I have a friend who badly wants to see me and DH to get PG, and she monitors my drinking habits to see if she can suspect me of being PG! So I will have to be very crafy when I do get UTD!

[prama]

Annebelle, congrats hun!!

My excuse even when TTC was IBS, which I do have, but I don't think you want to use that! LOL! I think antibiotics, is a good one! take care, and here's to a H&H pg!
