What would you do?!

[User020312]

I recently posted on here saying I have just found out I'm pregnant. Me and my partner were so confused but we've had time to think about it and were happy now.

Now, a friend messaged me, and god knows where her conclusion came from, but she asked if I am pregnant, and I told her I am (I THOUGHT I could trust her), but I think she has told my partner mum (the friend in question is my partners brothers girlfriend). I'm so annoyed, as I specifically told her that I didnt want anyone to know until after the 12 week scan due to previous miscarriages. I thought she would "get it" because when she was pregnant, she also didnt want anyone to know until 12 week scan due to a miscarriage she had.

Just wondering, what would you do? Do I just tell everyone now? Or what? I'm so annoyed x

If it was me, I'd be having a word with the friend. Find out exactly who knows at the moment and tell them to keep it a secret. You wanted to wait, so wait until you are ready.
I learnt the hard way about who I could trust and who I couldn't during this pregnancy and I am a lot more guarded now about what I share with who.

It really annoys me how people think it’s their right to tell people of someone else’s pregnancy and one of the reason why very few people still know I am and I’ve just entered 5 months!

Have a good strong word with her and let her know how upset you are and it wasn’t her right to say about your news. At least you know not to trust her again with anything.

Don’t feel obliged to tell people if you don’t want to. You don’t have to x

If she text you out of the blue asking if you were pregnant that seems strange - so do you think she already heard.... could your partner have told his mum on the QT who told your friend? But yea I’d ask her how she knew and who she’s told. No need to tell more people than necessary until you’re ready. But let them know you’re not happy they told your news
