any advice greatly appreciated

Here is my problem. I'm from France and live in Ireland. Every year, i go back to my grandparents when my sister is there with my two nephews and my dad joins us. the timing is dictated by my sister as she's the one with the kids. only this year she's picked a time of year when i won't be able to fly. dad is asking whether or not i'm coming but i'm only seven weeks and not ready to tell them i'm pregnant. any ideas on how i can put off giving him an answer or think of a good excuse? or should i just come clean?

Just tell him. Unless you have a history of miscarriages I can't see why you wouldn't. Just make sure you make it clear to keep quiet until first scan confirms all ok.

As someone who has unfortunately had children and miscarriages, I would say 'tell them'.

Then there is no need for an explanation or cause any upset.

And to be honest, when we miscarried I needed my family's support, so I was glad they knew.

All the best for your pg!

Congrats on your PG! I second the others who suggest you tell the truth - it can get so complicated and stressful tying yourself in knots thinking up alternative stories!

I'd tell particularly as it's family.
