Just venting
My husband comes from a divorced family.Both his mother and father have new families with new spouses.They can't get along because of his mother's crazy obsession with the past.I never grew up without having ex's get along atleast for family functions.When I married into his family I never considered how Grandchildren will affect the situation knowing how we have to keep his 2 sides separated.I honestly thought I could not conceive and did not have the money to even consider IVF.
Here I am 38 weeks pregnant with My first baby boy on his way and me and ML got into the first big fight and I went crazy on her.I even told DH she was not allowed in the actual hospital where I plan to deliver and if she does come I will have her escorted out.The whole fight was over her harrassing me and my step-mother in law.(I get along way better with SMiL and FiL.)The fight got so bad it affected my blood pressure which made matters worse since I am High risk for Preeclampsia.
For the sake of my health I told her I would leave things be and she'll atleast get a call when I go into labor but now she and her mother and brother want to come stay close(Like park in front of my house in a camper!!)when baby is due.I can barely stand them when the come to visit pre baby.Now they want to visit when I'm trying to bond with my NB.I'm taking all suggestions on how to tell them nicely I don't want you around after I leave the hospital..
First time mom..38 weeks pregnant.

Re: Just venting
All I can say is good luck.
My funny response though would be to threaten to call the cops if she shows up with a camper and parks it in front of your house. She needs to get a clue that you don't want her hanging around you after you get home from the hospital.
To be honest though, tell her point blank she is not welcome to hang around at your house, she can come visit for short periods of time, and that is it and you need a heads up before she just shows up.
You and DH need to tell her straight out what the plan is and stick to it. My MIL was super upset and angry at me when I was PG with DS because I was allowing my Mom in the room and not her when I was in labor and delivering.
Both DH and I stood our ground on this. I ended up with a c-section but they did allow my mom in since she worked ther she was a labor and delivery nurse.
My MIL is one of those poor me drama filled people who just adds way to much stress.
For your health, I would have DH do the talking to keep your blood pressure down etc.
