We told my parents around 6.5 weeks that I was pregnant, only because my sister announced her pregnancy and we didn't want to hurt them further (they think they should find out as soon as we do). It's not our first baby, but it was very risky in the beginning and I almost miscarried. We told them we wanted to keep this pregnancy private and not make it public, and asked them not to tell anyone. Well now I'm a little over 19 weeks and they've told everyone they know and I can't help be feel upset at their complete disrespect of our wishes. I've gotten texts from family members who have nothing to do with me and my family (family members that my parents don't even like) to let me know they "found out", etc. And if my husband finds out he'll be soooo angry. There's a long history with my parents and their disregarding our wishes and such, so he's not exactly fond of them, and for good reason. So not only am I upset about my parents, but now I'm afraid of my husband finding out and saying something not nice to my parents. For one, saying something at this point will do nothing but cause drama that I don't want or need that right now. And for another, what's done is done, there's no "fixing" it. And my parents aren't capable of understanding our point of view. They never have been, and they'll only say "they were just excited". I get it, I'm excited too (it's my first girl and I'm thrilled!), but I also have self control. It wouldn't bother me so much if it were only one or two slip ups, but it's a lot of people.

Anyway, I just needed to vent, because I don't really have anyone else to be a sounding board. I know once my baby is born I'll just be happy to have a healthy baby girl and none of this will matter anymore, it's just frustrating at the moment.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading.
