You need to tell her that you need time to yourself or you will never get into a routine with the baby.
Thank her for her help and promise she will see the child often, but you need your space or else she will be banned altogether

I no the feeling I have been there and done it. I had my boyfriend.....now hubby tell his mom (in a nice way) that she has done enough and we needed time alone 2 bond with the new baby. She took it hard at first BUT she soon realised where we were coming from and she slowly backed off. We did have 2 commit 2 dinner every Sunday at her house just so she could get her fix. Having dinner every Sunday with her was a good compromise. I really was expecting her 2 move in with us. She was at my door at 6am and doing laundry, making beds, cooking breakfast lunch and dinner and left around 7-8ish at night 7 nights a week. It was way too much. I felt trapped and suffocated. It was a nightmare. Something had 2 give so hubby spoke up. Good Luck, I feel 4 u.

Nightmare, mine was (and still is) a pian in the bum! Try not to let it bother you, she's probably just excited, hopefully she'll pull her head in soon. It's so hard without offending anyone but she needs to be aware of how she's making you feel, at the end of the day you are mummy not her, it is hard though. Good luck, it will get better. Congratulations too!

You need to tell her nicely that you appreciate her help but you want to enjoy the experience alone but you will need her so do it nicely suggest that she calls first before coming round but in my experience they can be a huge help so tread carefully she is probably as excited as you with your new born
Good luck

You need to put your foot down now or she will not stop. try talking to your husband and ask him to tell his mother to back off a bit.. but if he wont, you must or she will get worse. you know the type she has done it already and she knows best?

just tell her that you have to learn how to do things for yourself and your baby if you cant do it then maybe ask your partner to do it, after all its his mum and he should know her best.
best wishes with the new arrival.
