Hi Ladies,

i've just found out this week im pregnant .. im just about 4 weeks.

Well on Thursday i'm due to go to Llorett de mar on a close friend's hen weekend for 2 nights, there are 13 girls going away..there is going to be a lot of alcohol involved!!

How do i hide this from them and get round not drinking? I'm sharing a room with my best friend and my sister in law and it is going to be soooo difficult!

What would you do? We want to keep it from as many people as possible due to having a m/c and chemical pregnancy previously..

Thanks xxxx

Congratulations! Hopefully it's early enough that you won't be feeling too sick or tired so you should get away with that. As far as the not drinking goes, the most successful line I've used is antibiotics which you absolutely can't drink on. Google a suitable ailment - dental / gum infection is a good one. Good luck! xxx

Invent an illness and say you are on antibiotics, take some folic acid and say they are the pills !!!

Congrats on BFP xx

Personally, i would tell my sis in law and BF..

other than that use the anitbiotics excuse....& good luck

Hiya, hope all goes well for you. Think that people may well guess - though if they're tactful they may not let you know they have! - it's v.hard to hide from other women!

Was in a similar situation a few months ago and chose not to go to the hen do of one of my best friends in Barcelona when was about 5 weeks pregnant, as after 4 m/c I found the whole travel / partying thing at that stage of pregnancy just too stressful, I just explained to her that it was too hard (she knew what we'd been through) and luckily she was really good about it.
