AIBU to want to throttle DH for breaking our pregnancy news on Facebook

[FootprintsOnTheMoon]

What a moron!

Mrbloom, I hate people that do that. It's my pet hate on fb. Just says what u want to say fgs!!

Id have been furious. Really furious.
I can't see how an intelligent human being with 3 kids already thought that's how (or when) the news should be announced. Jeeez.

whatisitthistime regardless of all the reasons people have already given, it's not "up to her" to decide when people are told, but it's bloody well not up to him either! It's up to THEM to discuss it together, surely?!!

Southernfriedtofu that's a sad way to look at it. A doctor can't tell anyone due to patient confidentiality like anything else.

But to say that it is her uterus her baby, therefore hers hers hers, no wonder some men feel excluded throughout pregnancy.

I hope when she's getting up in the middle of the night to do the feed, or is changing the fifth dirty nappy of the day, that at no point she says to dh your turn, as the baby is hers not his.

Chippingin but he doesn't have her workmates, boss on it.

I stand by it's his news as much as the OPs.

My ex did this. We waited until after the 12 week scan to tell family and friends, or so I thought. It emerged later that ALL his friends knew, when I was 5 weeks. I was bloody livid, as we weren't living in the biggest town, and my family could easily have found out by accident. He was lucky I didn't find out til I was about 14 weeks, as I think I'd have been even more cross, although there was not much I could do.
He was the same with the name, we agreed to keep it secret til the birth, and then he told me he'd told EVERYONE. That really did make me angry, especially as when I was overdue, one of his friends posted on my FB, 'hurry up !' when NONE of my family or friends knew what the name was to be. Luckily I saw it and deleted it after about an hour. No one ever said anything but I was so so angry.
More reasons I'm glad he's my ex!!
YADNBU.

MrBloom - that's funny! Facebook really does bring out the worst in some social situations, doesn't it.

Tofu, I think you hit the nail on the head. And there is a natural hierarchy in the order you tell people - depending on how involved they are likely to be in the new baby and/or with any difficult pregnancy issues. It's not his friends vs my friends - it's close friends versus randoms.

DH is quite affronted that his cryptic clue has caused so much amusement. . What a plonker.

Thanks again for congratulations.
