I think there's two ways of looking at this.  

  • On the one hand, she's telling everyone about something that you're not really wanting broadcast.  And that is making you feel a bit mad at her

  • On the other hand, she's obviously very proud of you, is happy that you're getting older and more mature, and can't wait to announce to the world that her 'baby' is turning into a woman

Now, I'm not saying one is right or wrong.  But, in times when a lot of mothers and parents are so busy, they don't have time or care about their kids at all, you are very lucky to have one who is obviously very proud of you.

My advice would be to just ignore it, and let's face it, she's probably told everyone by now anyway.  It's something that will pass, people will forget and you will get on with your life.  

Try not being mad at her, I'm sure she's not wanting to upset you

For myself, I won't ever understand why mothers seem to get so happy that their little girl is "growing up". My mother told everyone when I got mine. She even told them that they should buy me pads for my birthday. Guys and girls. It was embarrassing. I didn't want everyone to know.

The only thing I can tell you to do is let it pass by. She'll eventually grow out of this phase. She's just proud that you're growing up. If it will help at all tell her that you get embarrassed when she does it and that it hurts your feelings that you can't trust her not to tell the world about your private life. To you it's something sacred.
