Hiding Pregnancy through Morning Sickness - Advise Please

[flynikitta]

Hi All,

I'm in week six of my first pregnancy. I own a martial arts school so work directly with children and parents for about 5 hours every day. I am classified as a high risk pregnancy and have been advised by my dr. to wait to share the news till November. The problem is the past two days I have had to run off the mats to vomit (loudly) in the bathroom.

The question is how to keep my pregnancy a secret through the obvious symptoms of morning sickness?

Thanks for your help!

Tell them a half truth. You have a parasite. It takes a while to work its way out of your system, but it's not contagious.

I like that! Thanks! Best I could come up with was the flu, but that was basically saying "hi parents, I'm sick and contagious but am going to be touching and working with your kids anyway."
