Breaking Confidentiality!?

lauren

Hi all. Hope everyone is keeping well.

So, it's all a bit long winded and yes I'm probably being too sensitive but my head is in a spin.

First off, I should probably say I'm a very private person and keep my cards close to my chest.

Anyway, I have a best friend of 30+ yrs and we have been through so much together. The other day she kept quizzing me about being pregnant and then tonight on the phone she started going on that she had this 'feeling ' I was pregnant (haven't said anything to anyone). She is not psychic btw!. Anyway, conveniently, her sister in law is a midwife for my area and I can't help thinking it's been a case of gossips corner. Just knowing how the sister in law is and also my best friend.. I feel so angry and at the same time upset about it.. because every pregnancy I've had I've never been able to enjoy it. Its been constant pressure with ppl telling ppl or my ex being vile or even previous colleagues ( management) breaking confidentiality. As I said, I like to keep things to myself because the minute ppl find out they seem to gossip and think they have the right to know the ins and outs of a ducks arse! I just don't know if I'm being unreasonable. I just keep thinking that this is my body, me feeling shit day in day out, my right to tell ppl when I decide and my baby. I'm sick of ppl with their demands and expectations. All I want, if to enjoy this pregnancy but yet again someone feels the need to tell my story (health professional too) and tbh, I feel like I will rip someone a new arsehole before long.. With or without hormones 🙄! Thanks for letting me rant!
