[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. As I read these suggestions, I'm also realizing that I'm concerned she will tell people. I plan to tell only a small group of people -- I am going to let everyone else assume it's my egg (I'm youngish) until the child is old enough to start telling people herself, if she chooses to. My mom has no filter or discretion. If she's thinking about something, she says it. Which means everyone in my hometown and extended family and every person she sits next to on a plane will know my business. I always dislike that, but it is particularly bothersome to me when it's about something that I feel strong emotions about, like this.

I probably should not have told her donor egg was an option since I don't actually trust how she will deal with the news, but that ship has already sailed.[/quote]

Does your mom live locally?  It sounds like she's far away and you have limited contact with extended family.  Blabbing relatives 5 years from now and your child overhears it?  I'd keep it private between yourself and partner/DH.  [/quote]

She's going to tell the child which is the right decision. Genetically the child needs to know her health history is only half her parents history.[/quote]
