MIL problem

in 3rd Trimester

So at the moment i am 38 weeks pregnant and planning on having a home birth. My MIL wants to come over every day she is only 10 mins away. When my SIL was in labour my MIL got escorted from the hospital because she was listening at the door and shouting in the room "is the baby here yet?" My husband is her youngest son and she is almost 70 and a bit senile. 

 Please help me think of ways to keep her away. I have already tried saying none of my clothes fit and i walk round naked all day. She said its ok we are family. 

I was thinking of hiring security if nothing else works.

    Tell her you have the flu and you just can't possibly risk infecting her.

    I would either have DH talk to her and tell her that she is welcome when she receives a phone call or I would just stop answering the door.

    This.

    And if she lives with someone, have them intervene on your behalf as well.

    I agree, if your NO isn't getting the point across then have DH step up to the plate.

    a good deadbolt and ignoring the doorbell?

    Have you tried asking her to call before she stops by or having your DH tell her she's only welcome when invited? Those are my only other thoughts.

    I do the "turn off the lights and hide in the bedroom quick so they don't think anyone is home" trick

    I would tell her you're having trouble sleeping at night, and you're trying to take several naps in the day, so don't come over because you need to sleep.  And I would just put my car in the garage and ignore the doorbell too.  GL!

    That's really your Husband's job to say anything to her.  He has to be flat out with her telling her that both of you do not want anyone with you while you are delivering.
