My first baby is due in 6 weeks and my boyfriend's mum has been constantly saying she's coming to the birth... and not like asking, or hinting, just outright TELLING me that she's coming, and there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm planning a home birth and I only want my mum and boyfriend there, which I'm sure she knows because I've written it in my birth, which she's seen and picked up on, and I also make it pretty clear that I'm uncomfortable with the fact that she's inviting herself to the birth of our child... My idea is to wait until I go into labour, and just tell her at the time that I don't want her to come, but everyone is telling me I need to speak to my boyfriend about it but I feel like I'm constantly on at him about stuff to do with his mum, and I feel so bad:( sorry for the long post...

You need to start putting boundaries in place for your birth and after the birth with your child - she doesn't make decisions for you, tell her no, tell your boyfriend to man up too and as PP have said it's not a group fucking exercise or spectator sport

Bloody selfish woman she is!
