Boss told colleagues I'm pregnant

[Smarshian]

I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my second and on maternity leave still with my first (due back next month). I had a meeting with my boss last week about my return to work and informed him I was pregnant as it would impact what I would be doing when I returned.
We agreed he would tell one other person plus someone from hr as they needed to know for people planning purposes.
I have just found out via my husband that a large proportion of my regional team know I am pregnant (my husband plays football with a junior member of the regional team who is a mutual friend and he congratulated him - clearly not even knowing it was supposed to be a secret)

I'm furious - what should I do?

Shockingly unprofessional behaviour

But I have to say I don't understand why you would be telling anyone at work when the viability of the pregnancy hasn't been confirmed - especially when you're not even actually at work!

With both my pregnancies I told managers early in confidence and they spread the news. It's happened with many women in my workplace but no-one complains - this thread makes me think I should have done.

This happened to me, I was so angry, it was my first, I had to tell the boss as was due to go on a course which I wasn’t able to do now I was pregnant, the next minute people who I hardly knew were congratulating me, I hadn’t even told friends only hubby and mum knew! It was awful I felt like crying they took away my secret, I was 9 weeks hadn’t even had a scan,! I emailed him and copied in HR , I got a call to apologises but damaged had already been done, and worse to come was that I lost my beautiful baby at 18 weeks, I then left the company! I feel for you! It’s such a shit thing to do, xx

Dancing I was just warning the OP, not sure why you have to be so snarky
