MIL can't keep it to herself

Just got pregnant again after a miscarriage earlier this year. And I am super paranoid about everything. Already told my MIL not to let anyone know in case something happens again, and also because I am a very private person. And she ACTUALLY shared the same sentiments. But few days later the news has already spread through the entire extended family. And I have not even passed the first trimester yet. Do I have the right to be pissed? I feel as though I'm about to explode already. #rants

My MIL can’t keep to herself too!! Arghhhh I am also quite a private person. I understand that elders are happy and want to be boostful. My husband even told her not to share the news since it’s still within first trimester (though he told me his mother will keep it to herself but who knows). The next moment was the whole family knew about it already (not surprised if her friends know too). I was pissed off. Super pissed. My MIL EVEN TOLD ME NOT TO GO AROUND SHARING YET SINCE IT’S STILL WITHIN FIRST TRIMESTER. Angryyyy max. The right thing I did was to agree to him sharing only slightly nearing end of the first trimester. So I learnt my lesson, never share anything with PIL unless I want the whole world to know.
