I definitely have a pre-planned night out when I will be 9 weeks and our Christmas party when I will be just 12 weeks (am hoping I get my scan date for before so I can tell people).
The antibiotics excuse is a good one but my problem is that I am never ill (haven't had a day off work in 6 years) so I just worry that it won't wash. I can't even use the "I'm driving" excuse as we already have hotels booked for both nights out. Aaarrrggghhh.....
Goodluck, and congrats again on pregnancy.

I have so many nights out planned as ttc was getting me down and decided to carry on normal life and book loads of nights out and now i have my bfp - typical lol!! anyway being pg is the most important thing for me so I guess I have to try and not stress about it!!

Ps - cant say im driving as all nights out are in central london!!
You could try using the excuse that you're on a bit of a detox to help ttc/in run up to Christmas/give liver a rest. I used this excuse when I was early pregnant and was accepted no probs!
There are loads of calories in alcohol, google some diets without alcohol to come up with some convincing name for 'your diet' and tell everyone you're off alcohol (throw in some other high calorie foods for good measure) until new year, by which time you'll be home and dry!!!
Congratulations...xxx
On my 30th, when I had morning sickness all day and all night, I just said I'd caught a twenty four hour bug - and pretended the problem was err.... both ends... No-one wants to hear about that.....!
Lovely to see you on the pg forum Mrs B!
thanks also for the congrats - i still cant believe it !
