Pregnant - So perhaps my parents know?

[Engage!]

Since today was the Fourth of July, I took my wife home to my parents' annual barbecue and get-together with family, neighbors and friends etc....

My wife has been having intermittant trouble with her nausea, and it will strike at practically anytime, in a very random manner. This time, it struck right during dinner, and so she ended up worshipping at the porcelain altar. Since I was in the backyard with my father, my mother was the one who helped my wife, along with one of my aunts. They both know about pregnancy and the signs of such, and I overheard my mother remark to my aunt, "Do you think she might be pregnant?" I didn't hear the answer to that question, but I'm wondering what I should do. I haven't even been married to my wife for a month, and already my mother suspects pregnancy. And with our traditions, that looks bad. So what should I do at this point, continue to conceal or tell the truth?

Truth. You cannot hide it...it's the oldest trick in the book what you two are doing!!!

You're married.

Plus she's actualy what? 2mths prego?
I mean like Sera said, it's the oldest trick in the book, girl gets prego, couple rushes to get married, pass it off as if they got pregnant on their wedding night.

I understand that w/ your family and background that this is NOT acceptable, but what's done is done.

You 2 are adults...what can they say??

Okay, I understand 100% where you are coming from. I am getting married in 8 days and about a month ago I was late and freaking out. My dad is a minister and I teach sunday school etc. But come on, your mother and aunts have had children, they know what pregnancy looks like, and unless your wife is pretty heavy, it is hard to hide the tell-tale bump she will have in about 6-8 weeks.
Don't lie to them anymore. Your marriage is stressful enough. And with your wife's apparent emotional problems you are going to need the support of your family. Tell them "I'm sorry if this disappoints you, but I don't want to lie anymore." And tell the the WHOLE truth. Not that you got prego on your wedding night. They will figure it out and are less likely to be helpful.

I agree especially w/ how technology is today. Before, they just "estimated" the baby's time of conception. They do that still but the techniques they use are able to pinpoint the actual date a lot more accurately than before.

Plus, now... they do this thing where they take like a REAL picture of the baby (6-7 mths) that's not like a fuzzy sonogram...but a real picture.. you can see their facial features and everything!!!
My friend emailed me the pic of her baby and I was like WHOAH!!! freaky... kinda scary lol it was totally an alien..and his nose was all smushed lol.

The beauty of 4D imaging!

We'd sort of hoped to keep it a secret for another couple of months, but it seems that the cat's out of the bag. In a way, we wanted it to be like our wedding - very little warning.

Congrats on your upcoming nuptuals, nottooblushing! I think you have a point here, though. Until now, my wife and I have tried to cut our families out of the loop as much as possible and not involve them in our relationship. Everyone's heard in-law horror stories, and parental involvement can often kill new relationships. But maybe we're past that stage, and now we need them.
