Pregnant women contribute same £ to hen do

Advice appreciated!
I'm planning a hen do in February and I have two pregnant women joining. I'm working out the budget and a substantial amount of the supermarket order is going to be booze 🍸
I've been thinking I should try and work out a way for the pregnant ladies not to pay as much as they won't be drinking.
What do you think? Would you expect to pay less or the same as everyone else if you were pregnant

What makes you think the group don't know there are pregnant ?

Or that not drinking alcohol would out them anyway?

Yes this is my plan! I'm wondering if this is typical though?
I don't know why I'm just paranoid that the other hens might be put out if they find out they are paying more compared to someone else? Even though I think that's fair?

Why would they be annoyed about paying for their own drink?

Having done several weekends away over the years, food and soft drinks get bought and split evenly between us all, and everyone brings their own alcohol because most us drink something different, and some more than others. That would make more sense to me.

Send anyone who complains some links to the substantial evidence of harm caused by alcohol to foetuses, and thank them for the part they’re playing in supporting other women to avoid this.

That’s an arse ache if you’re travelling by public transport or relying on a lift in a full car. And you miss out on the 25% off six bottles most supermarkets offer.

Non alcoholic drinks can be as much as alcoholic ones when you're out out. Supermarket less so, but unless they're drinking tap water, you still need to budget something.
