I wish the mother-in-law in the story down below could read these words, because it seems like she needs a wake-up call. She needs to understand that the childbirth of her grandchild is not actually about her, and she is in no place to make demands. So if the mother feels like she is not up to having her stay at the house, she is just going to have to accept it, or else she will not get to meet her new grandkid.
Simply put – Whatever the mother wants, the mother gets.

"AITA for not letting my mother in law stay the night at our house right after I give birth?"

Grandmother demands to stay at son's house right after his wife gives birth to grandkid, wife refuses, grandma cancels her visit as result: ‘This response threw me off’
There is nothing that scares me more than the thought of having to deal with my mother-in-law right after I give birth to her grandchild.
Don't get me wrong, I love my mother-in-law (well, sort of… We get along just fine), but there is a huge difference between being okay with seeing her every few months, and having her right there for an unknown amount of time after I give birth. I just know she is going to be too much and that I am going to lose it at some point, and it will not be pretty.
That is why precautions have to be put in place.
For example, there is no way I am going to let her stay at our place after the birth. She can enjoy a nice hotel close by, and come on visiting hours and leave when I tell her to. It's enough that I would have to get used to a newborn baby at our house, I am not opening my home to any more guests, no matter who they are.
