What do you say to people who ask if you're pregnant before you're ready to tell?

So, I went out for dinner a few days ago with friends and it was pretty impossible to hide the fact I wasn't drinking. I did drink a little - nursed a drink, took drink to the loo and left it etc however two friends thought it was ok to outright ask if I was pregnant.

I'm only six weeks pg and I certainly did not feel ready to announce it then and there to the whole table so I lied and said no.

The thing is, with my last pregnancy I told these same friends early to avoid having to lie in these situations, but a couple of them decided to blab and basically a few friends in our wider circle were congratulating me on my pregnancy at 8 weeks! I was really annoyed that they thought it was ok to share my news with people who were also our friends before we had ourselves, and well before 12 weeks.

So this time I'm not telling, but finding it really hard having to lie.

Any tips?? (Probably a bit late now as I suppose they have all guessed, but I'm still not prepared to confirm at this point!)

Oh Molly I'm in in the exact same
Situation! One of my friends sort of knows we've been seeing how it goes with trying for a baby. She's been very insistent recently and even asked if I had a positive preg test??!! I know she told me very early when she was pregnant with her 3rd but even so. I just said no to her and I'm leaving it at that xxx

To people who i dont really mind i say ask me again after the scan, with a .
