My Mum lives in Melb & my MIL is on the central coast but I think the dilema is the same. Personally I am going to try & keep them both at a distance for at least ten days. (My MIL wont last a few hours but DH & I have made an agreement that this is about us & until we are satisfied that we have kissed & hugged & cried enough we are not calling anyone else into the mix even if we wait for 5-24 hours after the birth)
If you have a really close relationship then it will be double the joy of meeting your child & seeing your mum but if you are easily overwhelmed then take the time to figure out how you feed, how you sleep & be a family for a few days without the added pressure of being viewed while all this goes on.
