Announcing your pregnancy can be a big deal, which is why plenty of couples prefer to wait for the right moment.
Many parents will often keep the news under wraps during the initial stages of pregnancy, often meaning you have to keep it a secret from friends and family until you find the perfect time.
Keeping the news to yourself can be difficult, especially if you're having to attend parties, events and get togethers that involve alcohol.
One woman has revealed a clever trick that allowed her to pretend to drink alcohol at parties without anyone batting an eyelid, The Mirror reports.
Tori, who posts on the platform under the social media handle @ _1toripontin, revealed a clever hack on TikTok.
The clip shows the woman emptying a bottle of rose wine into a plastic bottle, before filling it up with squash and and a splash of water and sealing the lid again.
It sounds simple, but the cunning trick is made even more believable as the mum mixes in a squeeze of super concentrated orange squash in order to achieve a near-identical colour to the rose wine she is looking to emulate.
The caption of the video reads: "How I kept my pregnancy a secret through the social events" with a crying face emoji and a laughing emoji.
After racking up more than 530,000 views on the platform, Tori's video has received praise from fellow TikTok users who branded the hack 'genius'.
One commenter said: "Blooming genius!" while another added "brilliant" with a clapping emoji and lots of laughing emojis.
Other mums took to the comments section to share their own tips, with one writing: "I did this with water in a vodka bottle, had it with like and soda. My friend tried some and goes ‘wow this is so easy to drink it’s just like water!'".
Another person added: "I did this but swapped it with alcohol free wine, I found out xmas eve I was pregnant so had to hide it xmas day".
One woman joked: "Me doing this the other way round at the park with the kids".
Some commenters were more critical of the hack, with one writing: "This is so weird! Just don’t drink".
