Posting pregnancy on social media?

Okay, so I am currently 13w6d along, and I have told all my family and close friends in person that I am expecting! (I wanted to make sure of that before posting it anywhere online so that people I closely care about would find out appropriately and not over the internet.) My finacè on the other hand, has only told his immediate family and none of his distant relatives know yet. Now, it's important for me to say that his family is very religious and is having a very hard time accepting the fact that we are expecting before we are officially married, even though we are engaged and have a wedding date set. His mom cries about it on the daily and hasn't spoken to me since March because of it. Since I am now out of my first trimester, I wanted to put it out on Facebook to let my other friends know our exciting news, but my fiancè said he would be angry if I did! I asked why and he said it's because his family doesn't know yet and he "doesn't understand why I want to put our private life out on the internet." I am upset because I was really looking forward to sharing my news after my last appointment but now he dropped this bomb on me. Is it wrong for me to be upset? I feel like I have given him more than enough opportunity to share this with his distant family and he still hasn't done it. It's like he's ashamed or something? Also, he doesn't inform his parents about any of my appointments and never even showed them the picture of my first ultrasound. It pisses me off because he always says, "My mom will warm up to it after the baby is actually here." I don't want her to come around after the fact and try to be a part of my baby's life after she ignores me my entire pregnancy. Thoughts and opinions please? :(

She's really bitchy and I almost like it better that she's ignoring me. But I know that I'm gonna have to talk to her eventually now that I haven't seen or talked to her in 3 months it's gonna be awkward.. I'm already showing a bit so I know that's gonna be a shock for her cause the last time she saw me I was in a bikini on spring break lol.

She sounds kinda bitchy. But no grandma can hold her new grandbaby and say this is a disgrace. She will love that baby and thats what really matters is,that baby gets lots of love.

Also, for the first 2 months his mom was convinced that I was "faking my pregnancy" and that it was a "false pregnancy test". -_-

My bf didnt tell his parents til,i,was like 6 months. His sibling just recently found out. He will tell them eventually and his,mom will get over it. Tell him u r very proud of your baby and u want the whole,world to,know. Then leave it at that i bet he will tell the rest soon enough. Maybe just wait til,u really start showing then he cant deny it. Then u can,say everyone will be able to tell i might as well let everyone know.
