My mum told my sister about my c-section

I'm heavily overdue pregnant and on Monday after several emotional hours in hospital I made a tough decision to go for an elective c-section which is booked for tomorrow.

Me & DH made a decision not to tell anyone except I said I wanted to tell my mum so we agreed this. Not because it's a big secret and I don't want anyone knowing, just because it's tomorrow and I wanted time to process etc and not having people messaging me.

Anyway I found out today that my mum has told my sister because she keeps asking about me apparently.

For context I don't have a good relationship with my sister. She has mental problems and is insanely jealous of me and not once while I've been pregnant has she bothered to check in and ask how I'm doing, which is what I fully expected from her.

So I'm really angry that my mum told my sister and said to her why didn't she just tell my sister to ask me herself if she really wants to know rather than my mum being a go between. I feel it's my business and my mum had no right to tell her. My mum doesn't think she's done anything wrong and thinks I'm being ridiculous.

AIBU?

You didn't say so she isn't in the wrong. You should have told her it is a secret.

It's a bit contradictory. You said it wasn't a secret but then you're mad your mum told someone?

You said you didn't want people to know because you didn't want to be texted for info all the time, but then your mad your sister didn't text to ask how you were?
