AIBU about my work colleague

[VodkaJelly]

I am pregnant and live in small town. I was going for a midwife appointment and as I walked into the building I saw a colleague from work. We chatted abit and I asked her how far gone she was and we laughed how you always bump into someone when you least expect it.

I did promise her that I wouldnt tell a soul as it was not my news to tell.

She came out with her news last week and everyone at work is excited for her and we also laughed with other people about how I saw her coming out of her midwife appointment.

I have also spoken to 2 other people (without her being there) and we were talking about her pregnancy and saying how lovely it was and she was so happy etc when 2 seperate people have said how she remaked "that it was typical that she bloody well bumped into vodkaJelly", I got the vibe from what they were saying that she was really pissed off that she saw me.

I never told a soul about seeing her (like i promised) and I feel she is making out that I am some sort of fishwife who is going round telling tales.

I am planning on saying something to her that I have heard from 2 people that she wasnt too happy about seeing me at the midwifes. as we live in small town and live near each other it is pretty obvious that she would probably see somebody at the the midwifes.

AIBU, should I just leave it?

Leave it - really not worth the hassle - just be wary round her in future.

Leave it. Being charitable maybe her hormones are going a bit haywire and your meeting upset her....

Leave it.
You did nothing wrong, it was hardly like you were stalking her - if she wants to be childishly petty about it, then she's going to look daft.
If you get involved in any way, you also run the risk of looking petty/childish - don't give her the satisfaction.

She probably was pissed off because she felt she HAD to share her 'secret' with you once you'd met up.

Just ignore.

Could she have been saying that even though she was trying to keep it quiet, it was typical that she would bump into someone she knows? So it wasn't a comment about you personally just ironic that she should meet someone she knows iyswim

Thanks for the replies, I will leave it and file it away!

Oooh! An AIBU where OP listens to consensus and says thank you! Is that not one of the harbingers of the apocalypse....?

I would leave it.

1. putting myself in her shoes I probably would be annoyed at meeting someone I knew in those circumstances. Annoyed at the situation and sort of by extension, the person I'd bumped into

2. I find those sort of 'oh X said Y about you' stories always seem worse than what X originally said. The tone/meaning can't be determined secondhand

You could always just drop into the next conversation something like 'I can't believe I saw you, what a coincidence. Thank goodness i'm discreet, some people might have struggled to keep quiet! I knew how important it was to you - I would have been the same'

Agree with ipotty.

I think she was probably saying that isn't it typical, that when you are trying to keep something a secret and don't want to see anyone, that's exactly when you do bump into someone you know!

And she probably made these faces - , and

Not or

I don't think she's cross with you. And these people telling you these second hand stories should be more careful what they say to sensitive and hormonal pregnant women!
