Hi everyone,
Today I got a faint positive test, yay! Now I'm dealing with quite a few 'puzzles'. I don't want to spread the news too much for the next 3 months, but...
I've made plans with a lot of friends to go out for drinks (I'm a real wine fan haha). So if I don't order a glass of wine, I fear everyone will know how far along I am...
Also, there's a bachelorette party planned next week with a cocktail workshop... Help?! How do you handle this? I need tips

    Relatable!
    If you manage it, it's a fun little game haha!
    I have 0% wine at home, I pour it out of sight and it has the same color as regular wine.
    I don't find it very tasty but well, you have to do something, right
    about that cocktail workshop. fake a hangover the evening before? Can't you offer to drive? Headache, take a pill?
    Good luck!

    Just don't make such a big deal out of it. What does it matter? They can be for you too if things don't go well.

    If you really don't want to tell anyone. Challenge: no alcohol, medication for an ailment. Stomach problems. Intestinal problems. Go wild!

    @flo haha it certainly leads to unexpected brainstorming sessions and indeed, it can get quite funny. But experimenting with 0% wine I also thought about secretly removing the alcohol from the mojito.. Exciting!

    @anoniem oh, making it difficult.. I'll definitely tell my closest friends and family, but informing everyone I'm in contact with right away just doesn't seem like a good idea.
