apologies in advance for the first world problem
I'm 30 weeks pregnant with baby 4. With DS3 DH phoned his parents and also talked to DS1 and DS2. Then I phoned my parents. Before the birth DH told his parents my waters had broken and they took DS1 and DS2 back to theirs. DH phoned them with updates a lot. I told my parents that I was going to be induced if nothing had happened and that's it, I just wanted to get on with it without interruption. We came home later that night and then DS3 was readmitted with a low temperature. Came home after a couple of hours and went to do a birth announcement on facebook. Found out my sister had beaten me to it, along with various "labour updates" which were absolute rubbish as she didn't know how my labour was going. She knew I was looking forward to announcing the birth as we'd discussed it before. DH doesn't do facebook and I prefer it to talking on the phone when I'm tired and covered in gunk so the facebook announcement is really important to me.
How can I stop that happening again this time? Very tempted to wait until after we get home before telling my parents that the baby is born. Definately not going to tell them anything beforehand. I'm worried that they will find out somehow and get offended.
I know this is really trivial but pregnancy tends to make me very irrational at the best of times and DC4 has a cleft lip so I'm extra sensitive. I've already had various stupid comments from people and my pregnancy rage is building. I also want to tell my friend who has had multiple miscarriages sensitively that my baby is here before the news goes out on facebook.
