Im fuming, but AIBU? hubby also fuming. My sodding MIL has revealed the sex of our third child even though we specifically said not to and only mine, and hubbys mums and dad knew. We only found out by accident in the first place and didn't want to know, but at the 20 week scan (I`m so private we hadn't told anyone about being pregnant yet, as with first two children) my hubby had a disaster on his hands so i called mum up as a surprise at the last minute and during the scan I shouted out "oh its a boy there's his willy" (yes I actually said Willy sorry) so we told my dad as well, and to be fair to them hubys mum and dad. But if mum hadnt been at the scan I wouldnt have told my parents, or anyone but my husband. Im really really cross as its not her news to tell, she knew she shouldnt have done it, and we havnt said to our own children anything about it let alone anyone else. I tackled her about it tonight and she just did this little smirky laugh and said "lets draw a line under it" I said no, it wasnt your news to tell, it was private family news and you knew that we dint want any one to know, and we havnt told the children, and its not fair on them.
Also ive not told any of my family or friends and I dont want it to get back to them, and cause a row that they herd second hand, im 7 moths pregnant, but feel im right . ARGH!!!!

Yanbu I hate when people share private business especially on social media!
My DPs sister announced the birth of DD on before we'd had the chance to tell anybody! I'd not even passed the bloody placenta yet ffs! My father learnt he was a grandfather through seeing the status and it really ruined the announcement id been planning for 9 months!
At the time I didn't give a toss because I was so wrapped up in DD but a few days later I was fuming. 2 years later I'm still miffed 
It was very annoying OP so I know how you feel! 
like I say I didn't care at the time but now it winds me up. It must be a common thing thought because I've seen those "We've waited 9 months for this please don't ruin the surprise. Don't share our baby news before we do!" posts. Bit sad you even have to say it really but I'm definitely doing it next time!
