He's a bit p*ed off about it. I'm only 10 weeks and just had booking app. Feel crappy about it all now.

gorionine - exactly - in fact my GP insisted I tell my mother because I needed the support during a difficult first pregnancy.

I agree with poledra and the 'see where's he's coming from' gang. If dh had told his mum without asking me, I'd have furious - I's have wanted to be there to see & share in her excitment. I would think he was totally in his rights to be less than impressed if I hadn't bothered to let me know that I was planning to share that sort of news.
When to tell people is a joint decision imo - it does have some ramifications...

Poor thing. Apologise to him, tell him you hadn't seen it from his point of view, that he thought of it as your special secret knowledge. But explain that waiting for the 12 week scan makes no sense if you would want your mum's emotional support whatever the outcome.
Patch it up, (even at the cost of an apology that you perhaps are uncertain about), move on, and best of luck.

Thanks folks, really appreciate your thoughts. With hindsight I agree that I have been a bit selfish and have apologised to him. It is of course his news to release too, and we should have talked about it properly.
No he's not controlling in other ways, far from it. We are both very independent, I suppose that's why I found his reaction surprising.
As you say, ANTagony, I'm sure it'll all blow over when we have the scan.
