My MIL told other family members about my pregnancy. Did I overreact?

So we found out we were pregnant last month. We only told our immediate family because of course, we wanted to share this with them, and we really needed support after mourning over our miscarriage a few months ago. We’ve already told them to keep this a secret.

My husband’s dad lives in another state. (My husband’s parents are divorced.) He’s a little bit older so he can’t keep secrets, so we wanted to wait a little bit before telling him. We did plan to tell him ahead before announcing, but just not too soon.

After a year of trying and a miscarriage, we were really excited to document everyone’s reactions when we told them.

We decided to tell one of my husband’s half sisters (who lives in the same city as their dad) and ask her if it’s the right time to tell their dad. She didn’t look surprised, and she told us that my husband’s mom had already told her. The sister ended up slipping and telling my husband’s dad, too.

My mother-in-law was one of the first people we told, and we continuously told them to keep this a secret. I confronted both of them and they said they didn’t mean it and basically told us we should just move on and celebrate my pregnancy instead of being upset with them.

(My mother-in-law even went so far as telling me at least I didn’t tell her other sisters and that she waited for me to tell them, rather than herself telling them. Wow!)

I DID NOT TAKE THIS IN A GOOD WAY. I was so upset and hurt. I felt so robbed of the moment.

My husband is upset too because he really wanted to tell his dad and sisters himself. Since they live so far away from us, we don’t get to share a lot of moments with them.

I was crying my eyes out. I’m pretty sure hormones got the better of me, and sent both of them long messages of how hurt I was. I didn’t stop until they understood that what they did was out of line.

Everything’s good now, and we’re okay.. But I keep thinking: did I overreact?
