This is hilarious and absolutely what I plan on doing when/if I become pregnant again. I may just add in a little quip about taking it a step further and pouring grape juice in the glass so I actually CAN appear to be consuming “wine”. DEVIOUS!
I wish I would have thought of this the first time around. Fake-sipping champagne just didn’t do it for me… I was caught pregnant-handed faster than you could say, “first trimester”.
I think some women have superhero-like abilities to suss out when someone in their midst is pregnant. When I was pregnant with my first son – and in the “quiet period” when I didn’t want to tell people the news – I went to an outdoor concert with a large group. I declined when I was offered wine. “Oh my God, are you pregnant?” my friend LOUDLY asked me. So, I lied.
“No, I’m taking antibiotics for a yeast infection.”
Just kidding. I didn’t say that. I said it was a UTI. (I will watch my subscriber count drop before my eyes when I post this. Sorry. Tomorrow, to make up for it, I’ll post something cute.)
Anyway, here’s a note that you can use if you want to try to prevent being called out early on in your pregnancy. And, if you’d like to share in the comments, did any of you have friends or family guess you were pregnant before you announced it?
