On holiday with my parents - hiding pregnancy

[TheWiseTealTurtle]

So I am on holiday with my parents and I don't feel ready to tell them I am expecting yet. I am away with them for 2 weeks and already a few days into it they offered me a drink and I said I didn't feel like it which I think they thought was odd as it's unlike me! They are excited about us making drinks using their new cocktail bar and I don't know how I am going to hide this. To make matters worse I think morning sickness is starting to hit. What do I do?!

Tell them and don’t get a puppy

And dog food is disgusting, just looking at the adverts makes me want to throw up. Cat´s food ditto.

Could always ask for a drink with mixer, tip their drink down the sink and replace it with your own mixer without the alcohol.

If it was me, I would just tell them but I can understand why you wouldn't want to

Why would you ask questions if it was clear they didn't want you to know?

Strange as you'd only fuck them off at a time when you're going to want them to trust you

Don't get the dog OP! Especially as you've been made redundant. Dogs and kids are expensive and messy and time consuming. You've got no idea if you're going to get a non sleeper colicky kid and those ten minutes of sleep you might be able to get will be ruined by a puppy. Get it when you've got the newborn stage out of the way and are feeling confident. You might find you've changed your mind and don't want the extra work for a long while.

Hopefully a decent breeder will understand and be happy that you're being responsible

Why lie?

Definitely cancel the dog if you are unemployed and newly pregnant. Terrible idea!

You will need every Penny you can save for the baby, and all the rest you can manage too.

Pregnancy and cleaning up dog poo is going to be an awful combination. A puppy and newborn baby is risky for the baby to say the least.

I would be so upset if I spent 2 weeks on holiday with my DD and she felt she couldn't tell me she was pg.
And they would be right about the dog, its a daft idea

Congratulations! Agree with other posters saying tell them and don’t get the dog.

I had my dog for years before I had my kids, the most adored, spoilt dog in the world, literally my baby.

After having my baby I couldn’t stand the dog for about 18 months. It was noisy, dirty, smelly and another thing to deal with after a sleepless night.

Obviously it’s all come good and I like her again now, but I absolutely wouldn’t choose to get a dog just before a baby!

They’ll know if the morning sickness starts. But what I did when I was pregnant was accept drinks but not actually drink them so I got my husband to or just poured a bit out in a flower pot or something when no one was looking.

Accept the drinks and don't drink them. Or make your own mocktails, they won't know the difference. But I wouldn't get the puppy! One needy thing at a time!

I got pregnant right before a holiday with my mum so I told her before we went. There was a lot of ttc history though so she knew we were trying etc. I just felt it was right that she knew as it was just the 2 of us abroad.

Realistically you're not going to be able to hide it, it will come out so just tell them.

And if you're having a new baby you really need to cancel getting the puppy, before it's here. That would be the responsible thing to do, rather than work out puppies are extremely hard work, boisterous, incompatible with a newborn and you need to re-home it. Save the re-homing struggle and just cancel getting the puppy.

Don’t be surprised if they guess. I would also put off getting the puppy. They are expensive and require lots of work.

Also I think they need to know for health reasons. I used to travel for work and when I was pg but not ready to tell anyone I made sure a trusted colleague knew so in case (unlikely) I was not able to communicate he could make sure medical staff were aware if that were ever necessary

My dm could tell by looking at me...she could also tell exactly when I needed to go to hospital to give birth by just looking at me....she can read me better than anyone I know. Just tell them you've given up booze to get fit and healthy.....but then you will also need to model healthy everything else.

Ah dude just tell them. Plus it'll ward off the whole "we spent 2 weeks together and you couldn't tell your mam you were expecting ' wailing.

I would cancel the puppy though. First trimester is hard work on its own.

Provided that you are not ridiculously young, will depend on them for childcare or money, in a bad relationship or pregnant as a result of a one night stand (none of which apply), why would they not be supportive? Ok the unemployed bit is not great, but you can still prove that you are looking for a job.

In the first few weeks of pregnancy my boobs ballooned up to an F cup and I kept falling asleep any time I sat down- and I never usually nap in the day. So if you experience any similar effects they may well notice in any event!

Congratulations, OP

my first thought was are they crazy getting a puppy? Not great timing. Would recommend that you rethink that decision while you still can.
