You ask yourself these three simple questions:
1. Is this fact about so and so kind?
2. Do I have undisputable knowledge of it, in other words, is it true?
3. Does the person I'm planning to share this with have a need to know?
I suspect there are breakdowns in the system. Using your pregnancy example, I remember an instance where I was privy to such information, looked on favorably by the individual involved (quite excited, actually) (kindness test). I was given this information in confidence directly from the source (knowledge test). There were people who had a need to know (the family for example), but I know that I was correct in letting the individual personally disseminate the knowledge when and where she chose and just keep it to myself until it was a matter of public knowledge. Generally, though, I think it's a pretty sound test.
