AIBU to block this person on instagram?

[Kittycat87]

I have kept my pregnancy quite private so far but decided yesterday to post about it in a story on Instagram. I use Instagram quite rarely and I have it set on only visible for my followers of which I am quite selective. Suddenly I receive a message on whats app from an acquintance I barely speak to that says: Hi! I just wanted check something! I heard you are pregnant! Is that true?
My reply: oh really, you heard so! Who has told you that?
Reply from acquintance: a screenshot of my instagram story with the message that she received this from someone.
My reply: Oh someone is taking the effort to take screenshots of my insta story and forward them to others ! Who was it?
Her reply: I am not telling that, just wanted to ask you if it’s true?

I didnt reply on this. I checked who has viewed my story and saw that one of her friends did so it didnt take a long time to do the math. This person is a mom herself and what annoyed me is that she took the effort to spread my news but didnt take the effort to reply on my story with so much as a simple: congratulations!

I blocked her on insta and didnt reply to the other acquintanance since I think they are both being CF’s.
Would you have done the same thing?

How weird - that’s such a rude message. I don’t blame you for blocking them. Ignore the sneery replies above. It’s totally normal to find it odd that she started interrogating you. What’s it to her anyway?!

Block the weirdos and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy

Would you block her mother for telling her father as previous post?

If you put something on social media it’s out there for everyone to see. If you want to keep the pregnancy quiet don’t put it on social media! The natural assumption is that you are happy for people to know as you are putting it out there.

I wouldn’t worry about it and just enjoy your pregnancy, I’ve left it late to tell people I’m pregnant, 19 weeks so now it’s a bit awks telling people as I feel I’ve got to explain why (High risk miscarriage and pre term labour). So I’m always pleased when people congratulate me as it’s one less person to tell and feel the need to over share with! Haha! But I’ve not put it on social media.
