The secrecy phase of pregnancy in many ways is the most fun, there's a nice bonding feeling between you and your partner when you two have the little foetus all to yourselves during those first few weeks.
Of course, actually keeping that secret is another matter altogether especially when said foetus has kind of taken control of your body and is making you act pretty... well... pregnant.

In our pub-obsessed culture, the not-drinking is usually the secretly pregnant woman's downfall. The eagle-eyed girls are always put on high alert the second they notice one among their number attempting a casual "I'm not drinking tonight.." refrain.
