Just got my positive and we want to wait till the first trimester is over before telling family. Problem is i live in a joint family and someone is always watching what i eat haha. Any tips on managing this without people guessing?
At work I kept a water bottle and dry snacks at my desk so the nausea didn't show. For meetings I just blamed a 'stomach bug'. Loose clothes and not announcing till you're ready, totally your choice when to share.
Don't stress too much about hiding it perfectly yaar. Loose kurtas, decline strong-smell foods politely, and tell people only when you feel ready. It's your news to share on your time.
Actually I just dodged questions by saying I'm dieting whenever I avoided food yaar. Baggy tops are your best friend in the first few months. Bas relax, koi itna gaur nahi karta starting mein.
Hardest part for me was hiding it in a joint family, everyone notices when you skip chai or feel nauseous. I just said acidity ho gayi whenever asked. We waited till the first trimester passed to tell everyone.
Step one, master the 'no I'm just bloated' excuse haha. Skip alcohol at parties by holding a juice and acting normal. Honestly people don't notice as much as you think in the early weeks.
