Am I in the wrong to ask him not to do this?

I’m currently pregnant with our third baby.

MIL and I get on okay but it’s a very strained relationship due to her treatment of me in the past - I don’t feel I can trust her, feel she is very judgemental of me, would rather her son hadn’t met me etc - you get the gist.

I’ve asked my husband not to share personal details of my midwife appointments with her - absolutely happy for him to say they went well or whatever but I don’t want them discussed in detail with her as they were in my previous pregnancies (which I didn’t like at all - once I walked into my own living room and she was sitting there reading through my notes without asking anyone).

I feel my appointments and what are discussed in them are private and personal.

Husband has agreed but says it has put him in a shitty position to not be able to tell her. AIBU? I can’t change the way I feel. I’m naturally a private person anyway and don’t like my personal business being aired about.

Just remind him its not YOU that puts him in that position its his nosy Mum. Tell him to remind her that it is your body and your medical history and its personal to you not for public consumption

no, he isn't in a shitty position at all. All he has to say to her is

"Tink has asked me not to discuss her gynae details with anyone, because it's private. I have given her my word. "

Explain his options to him :

" Mr Tink darling, either we keep our private stuff just between us; or, I keep it all to myself. "
