Struggling to keep pregnancy secret

My girlfriend is pregnant and we have agreed not to tell any family or friends until after the first scan which is still 5 weeks away. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep it a secret from my family. My family is close and everyone likes to know everybody else's business and my parents especially will not let anything drop if they think there's something odd going on.

For example we went out for a family meal two weeks ago to celebrate my brother in law's birthday, because my girlfriend had a positive pregnancy test at that point she didn't drink any alcohol and everyone kept asking why she wasn't drinking. Thankfully we had been on holiday the week before so I told them we drank A LOT on holiday as it was all inclusive so we are wanting a break.

Then last week my parents invited just me and my girlfriend out for a meal, again they noticed she wasn't drinking and asked why so she just said she was still having a break after our holiday. But they looked at her like they didn't believe it.

And now we have been invited to a family wedding in a few weeks and I have said I will drive some of us there as I am not bothered about having a drink and neither is my girlfriend but I know they will ask questions again.

What do I do?

Can't you say you've given up alcohol as you feel so much better after not drinking? Many people don't drink ...

I could, but I really don't think they would accept that.
