Should I feel bad for not wanting my boyfriend's mum at my "baby shower"?

You are pre-empting problems which might or might not even occur. You don't want his mum getting annoyed? She probably won't, I think nearly all MIL's would totally understand.

And if she does get annoyed, she's out of order - not you.

I'm only pre-empting because I know it could happen. My OH goes on a stag weekend this week and she asked me where I was staying. I just said I was staying at home and she was concerned because of if something happened. That's fair enough, and I appreciate her concerns (would rather her worry than not, shows she cares!) so I said if anything were to happen I've got my mum and my sister around the corner who can help me out, and I'd let them know if anything was to happen. She got annoyed that I didn't say I'd ring her first! It's little things like that. I didn't think that would annoy her but it did (and it can, I don't care. I'll always call my mum before anyone else, regardless of pregnancy!)

SIL has said that she will be coming to the hospital when I have the babies and my OH has said it's fine. I told her that OH and I haven't discussed who will be coming to the hospital yet, so I guess that's a conversation for tonight!
