You are a few weeks or a few months pregnant, but at the moment no one knows and it looks great on you. By will, by superstition, to surprise … you want to keep your pregnancy a secret for some time to come. It doesn’t have to be, but it’s your choice. How to stay low-key on this big news: here are the best tips.
Don’t make me say what I didn’t say. There is no obligation to keep her pregnancy a secret and every mother-to-be does as she wishes. And if some choose to notify their loved ones as soon as the small bar appears on the pregnancy test, others prefer to wait before revealing the big news. There is no right or wrong choice, it is a matter of experience, of desire and of personal decision. But if out of superstition, willpower, to surprise someone, to avoid hurting someone or for any other reason, you want to keep your pregnancy a secret for a few more weeks, you’ve come to the right place.
Because be careful, the evenings, the clothes, the meals … so many moments or, if you are not vigilant, your secret could be quickly stolen. To be prepared for any eventuality and not to arouse suspicion, here is a list of 6 risky situations that await you, but also – and above all – the tips and pirouettes that will allow you to get out of this mess.
1- Clothing sequence
At the start of pregnancy, we sometimes have to face a size problem: You have breasts that have tripled in size and there is a great risk that you will notice it.
The parade : I put on a push-up, it’s amazing how effective it is, don’t you think?
Another concern that we can sometimes encounter very early in a pregnancy, the little bottle that points and which could well betray you.
The parade : If you don’t want to blame the abundance of festive meals for your little tummy, plan ahead. This year for Christmas, opt for loose clothes or a sleeveless jumpsuit with lace. Classy and cool, it will be your most precious ally in camouflaging your early pregnancy. And be careful, do not stroke your stomach all evening with a smug air, you would be spotted immediately.
2- We offer you a glass of alcohol
Classic of classics. How to Refuse a Glass of Alcohol Without Getting Toast Immediately “Ah, don’t you drink? you are pregnant ?” . Here are the 5 best tested and approved parades. And in addition, you will have to vary the excuses a little if you want to fall through the cracks.
- I’m on a diet and you know that alcohol and diet don’t mix.
- I am on antibiotics because of an earache / migraine / back pain. SIf you used the backache as an excuse, avoid spending the whole night on the dance floor.
- I have already abused yesterday, today, I remain wise.
- I’m Sam this year, I’m bringing everyone back. And you know that the one who drives is the one who does not drink. Be careful, this excuse does not work if the party is taking place at your place.
- I made a bet with Chéri that I could go a month without drinking alcohol. If I win, he gives me a weekend in London, it would still be a shame to crack now!
The parade Otherwise, you can opt for a non-alcoholic beer once in your glass, your loved ones will see nothing but fire. And how cool is it to be able to sip a small non-alcoholic beer while pregnant? We say yes! So rather blood orange or lemon flavor?
3- In the afternoon, a trip to the fairground is planned
The digestive walk is very nice, but if, by bad luck, everyone rushes to attractions not recommended for pregnant women, we will have to find an escape.
The parade : I have eaten so much that it really won’t be reasonable. I don’t want to waste such a beautiful day by being sick. I’m going to take a Ferris wheel ride instead.
4- At dinner, sushi
Sushi, you love it, but since you got pregnant you’d rather avoid raw fish. You know that if the fish has been frozen beforehand, there is no risk. But impossible to ask the question without being immediately spotted. The only solution: kick in touch.
The parade : I’m smeared and really it would be a shame to eat sushi because I won’t take advantage of it.
5- High or flat heels?
Since you got pregnant, you can’t stand your heels anymore. And yes, it does. You much prefer to be “flat” but sure, those who know you well will not be able to miss this radical change in your wardrobe.
The parade : Yesterday I walked all day, I stomped for hours and in the evening I had my feet in compote. Really, I had no other choice for today than to be flat and yet, I would have loved to show you this new pair of shoes that I just bought; They are to die for!
6- coffee time
You’ve only been pregnant for a few weeks and this was your first sign of pregnancy: While you loved it, now you can’t drink coffee without feeling a little upset.
The parade : I am having trouble sleeping and trying to reduce my caffeine intake. I stop the coke and the coffee for a while to see if it improves.
You are now ready to resist the pressure of your family, your friends, your colleagues. Good evenings!
Only a few days (weeks) and you will be able to tell your loved ones THE great news. So, we say thank you who?
