First, I am a woman. Second, I don't understand why a woman would want to hide her pregnancy if she is married, already has a child, and a great career future ahead of herself. I told a cousin my sis was preggo and she got all angry. She already has a son and is married. I just don't get it. It's not like she going be able to hide the child for the rest of her life.........I did say I wasn't goin to tell anybody, but she should have known I was gonna tell my close cousin. And its not like my cousin would have told the "secret" to the world.

Perhaps it's not so much that she's trying to hide it, but that she's trying to avoid having to tell too many people that she had a miscarriage...Many women feel a taboo about discussing it early in the pregnancy, because they don't want to have to deal with the whole planet knowing, if something were to go wrong (I'm knocking wood as I type). If she did end up miscarrying, the more people who knew about the pregnancy early, then the more people she would have to notify about the miscarriage.
Not to scold you, but it's not your place to be sharing your sister's good news. When she's ready for everyone to know, then she deserves the opportunity to spread the joy personally.

Well my cousin is like that too. The only reason why its because she is the most stuck up person ever. She has a lil girl as well as a good job and married. She always said she was not going to have any more babies. But look at her now. I don't think its bad, but she would always say my sister was dumb and make fun of her because she was going for her second pregnancy.

maybe she was just not ready for others to know besides you. that does not mean she is hiding it. do you have children. i was like that with my third child. having a child is a big deal and maybe she needs time to digest the idea before others know. it does not matter that she is married with another child it is still a life altering event that some women prefer to not share at first.

A lot of moms try to avoid spreading the news early in case of miscarriage. I know I felt that way. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to end up in a miscarriage again. A lot of times also a woman would like to share the news themselves.

That would make me mad too. In fact, I have a sister in law that did this to me for 2 of my pregnancies and she was specifically told not to tell anyone. This last time I refused to even speak to her for about 3 months. It is NOT your place to tell anyone. It is not yours to tell. Nevermind why she didn't want it told, why do you think you have the right to blab her secrets? Maybe they had something special planned to tell people, did you ever think of that?

It's her pregnancy, not yours. What she's angry about is not that she was hiding, you said you wouldn't say anything to anyone. She wanted to let people know on her own.
It's always best to ask if it's okay to say something before you announce.

She may not be excited about the pregnancy yet. It's still new and scary to her.

maybe she wanted to be the one to tell everyone she was pregnant instead of having her sister blab it all over.
