Argh!
Told MIL not to tell anyone about the baby except family at the moment, OH just spoken to her on the phone and she has decided to tell anyone and everyone. There were some friends we wanted to tell but she has gone and done it. Am really hurt by this as she had no need to tell them. OH is making excuses for her but I feel really annoyed. I know she's excited but they are our friends and we wanted to tell them. Ok, moan over. Just feel really cross and sad.

i know exactly how you feel as my MIL did this too - & guess what? my OH reacted in the same way as yours! we had wanted to tell his disabled/elderley nan ourselves and had made the special trip up to see her, we had stayed the night at the MIL, and the next morninng she got up and went round to nans before us & just blurted it out! she had waited a couple of weeks & supposedly not told anyone but then did the very day we were down, just felt like it was a wasted trip, i was so hurt! a couple of weeks ago she let slip that she had in fact told everyone at her work i was pregnant and her new partner etc. it really pi***d me off! ok i had told my mum & dad when i was around 9 weeks, and OH felt it unfair if we didnt tell MIL too - but then look what happened!
so i definitely share the AGH with you when it comes to MIL!!
& i feel as though she is trying to take over - so make sure you put your foot down too! (mine insisted at being at the birth - watching - taking pics & video!! NO WAY is that happening! ha)
i know its hard as your hormones are all over the place, but try and forget about it, cos you dont want it causing any arguments between you and OH.
