I am now 37 weeks pregnant so not long to go now!
MIL keeps complaining to my partner that she hasn’t seen me and keeps making comments like will I even see her before she gives birth!
The past few weeks have been difficult I’ve had a lot of work stress, had my step grandad pass away which happened very quickly from his cancer diagnosis (so has been a lot to get my head round), house renovation and just general tiredness of being heavily pregnant.
I haven’t really wanted to see anyone apart from family! I have moved into my parents house temporarily so I can have a break from mine and my partners house being renovated and I’m not around the mess, my partner is at his moms but he sees me daily and always wants to be at my parents house with me as they have a great relationship.
Since I’ve moved to my parents she has made the following comments:
She can always move here and have a break
When am I seeing her (she hasn’t asked me herself)
Has she fell out with me (the day my step grandad died) this was because I ignored her condolences message as I was saying my goodbyes to him. She text me about 30 minutes after it was confirmed he has passed.
Friday evening my family and partner and I went for a drinks as my step dad hasn’t been coping and she drove past our house and questioned why my partners van was on the drive, his van is hidden by the skip so she has clearly drove directly down our street.
She keeps mentioning when she is going to stay at our house which me and my partner don’t want! When he tells her no her response is “well I stayed at your old house on Christmas Eve, I will need to stay when I’m baby sitting (we’ve never asked her to babysit or mentioned this)
For Father’s Day today she messaged my partner saying happy Father’s Day and he told me she has put out in her living room a card I randomly bought him a couple of months ago with a nice message from the baby! He said to me I don’t even know how she’s found it! So she’s clearly keeping sentimental things I’m getting for him!!
In my last few weeks of pregnancy all I want to do is rest, and get the house finished and I feel she is just being a nuisance!
Am I over reacting?

NOR and I hope your partner took the card and put it someplace safe.
She’s going to be a huge handful once your baby comes. Prepare a list of your boundaries and consequences if you haven’t already.
I also recommend not telling her when you’re in labor and waiting as long as possible to even tell her your baby is here. You don’t want her ruining your golden hour or post partum bonding time.
