to tell people or not?

I know this question has been raised before, but I thought it would be interesting to get more opinions. I was hoping the hear from people who decided NOT to tell, and later wished they had (for whatever reason) and those who told yet wish they hadn't. For the longest time I have been thinking I wouldn't tell anyone other than my husband. We'd just go the "gallbladder surgery story" route. I am worried about the family 'grapevine' and swearing my MIL to silence, I don't think would work as she'd probably tell her closest sister. And now I have an opportunity working at a place with the wife of my husbands coworker, they are big gossips, so she found out, it would be all over town. Would you suggest being proactive and telling people before the gossips do, or just telling them to mind their own business? I am a private person and I hate people knowing my business so I am in a quandry..please help...Thanks
