I called my Mom and SHE had no idea they were pregnant either! It just seems odd to be nearly 6 months pregnant and not telling anyone?? This is their first child. [/quote]

Do you have a habit of sharing news that isn't yours to share?  This is Brother and SIL's news to share with your parents.  You way overstepped.  If you want to be part of their and your niece/nephews life you need to take a giant step back and follow their lead.  [/quote]

Oh stop. I’m assuming OP thought her mother knew since it seems the family is not estranged. [/quote]

Then the appropriate thing would have been to say - Brother, does Mom know?  If not, please call her because it will hurt her to not know.

There is some reason OP's brother waited so long to share this news.  [b]It could be any number of things but I can assure you OP didn't help the situation by not allowing her brother to share the news himself with their Mom/Parents[/b].[/quote]
It doesn't sound like the brother considered this as news to be shared. Sounds like he's just bringing it up casually when the information may be pertinent. OP wasn't wrong.[/quote]
