She's definitely being a first clase b@@@ . Save the gift card for after you deliver and treat yourself to a post pregnancy wardrobe on her. The ex isn't getting that.

Most gift certificates are good indefinitely so after you have the baby you will be able to shop there. As for the name thing, if he has siblings I'd be willing to bed his mom has called him by his siblings name as well. It's nothing. If you think she doesn't like you maybe it's because you seem to be spoiled. His mother isn't OBLIGATED to get you a gift at all and you're whining that you can't shop at the store she purchased the certificate to. You might be thankful she thought of you at all considering the situation you are in.

Hold onto the gift certificate until after you give birth and treat yourself to some new clothes then :)
As for being called by the ex's name, maybe mention to your boyfriend that it hurt your feelings, and ask him how his mother feels about you. She may have done it intentionally, but I wouldn't thinks he'd give you that large of a gift certificate if she didn't like you at least a little bit. You're pregnant and it makes your emotions sensitive :)

Hold on to the gift certificate until you have delivered your bundle of joy. You are going to need some new clothes then.
As for his mother calling you by the ex's I wouldn't say she doesnt like but I could say she might have hoped they ended up together. I would bring to her attention she did it and let her know you do not like it and will forgive her this time but will if it happens again you will let her son know.
Also let your boyfriend know that you spoke to his mother and why. Try to keep him from choosing.

Gift certificates don't expire and you will need clothes after the baby is born as you may be a different shape than before.
As for MIL... welll..... unless you think she is really being malicious I wouldn't say anything. However now is the time to think about ground rules for after the baby. For example, I do not allow my husband to take our baby to see his family without be being there because his family are crazy and his dad is an alcoholic and he doesn't see the problem.

maybe she thought you might need some new clothes for after the baby is born.I know I wasn't the exact same size after I gave birth! You can tell your boyfriend about her making a mistake with your name, I wouldn't think to much into it...Just try to laugh it off this time because it really could have been an honest mistake.If it happens more then I would be concerned but for now, you are over analyzing the situation.

Hold on to it and use it after you have your child. Just find out if it has an expiration. As for the mother-in-law.......... definitely talk with your boyfriend. You are having a baby together.......you most defiantly be able to talk to each other about this!
Good Luck

Do they sell baby clothes at that store? How long did he date his ex? How well did she know the family, and the family know her? It could be an honest mistake, but it could also be her way of telling her son that she approves of his ex more so than you. Bottom line is, it doesn't matter. It's not her.

Don't let her get to you! Every mother is over bearing when it comes to her son. She might be upset that you are pregnant and there is nothing she can do about it. Now she knows her son is having sex and is not married. She is just worried. Maybe left out?

i think maybe your being a little too sensitive about the present, but i wouldn't be happy with her calling you by his exes name . depends on what you want to happen if you tell your boyfriend because you already know hes going to say your wrong and just being silly. id wait until the baby is born and your boyfriend is besotted then id have it out with her myself.
