PP here. Um, yeah, right. When I breastfed I just walked around my house topless. LOL. Talk about dramatic...[/quote]
New poster here.  I don't think it's that dramatic.  My MIL stayed with us for a few days after DD was born, and I remember being petrified to breastfeed in front of her.  Which made life really uncomfortable.  I would stay in the room pretty much constantly because I didn't want her to see me topless.  Once she left and I could breastfeed while watching tv and on our living room couch, I was actually much much happier.  I ended up EP'ing, and it was always a pain when they visited because I would have to pump in our bedroom or in a bathroom (in my own house, yuck) to avoid them seeing me topless.  It always made me really uncomfortable.  
You could just invest in a nursing cover.  I EP'ed so a cover wouldn't have covered up enough for me, but that's what a sane person would do.
That having been said, it is very inconsiderate of your DH to not respect that your mom already had dibs to staying when the baby came.  Life is stressful enough with a newborn, if your ILs are the type to be helpful, then having them around is good.  If they are like mine (who have extreme food restrictions and expect to be catered to), then it is not.  I kid you not, my MIL had DH driving to Target to pick her up some lactaid milk the day we brought DD home from the hospital.  We could have done without that additional work those fisst few days.  We're actually lying about the due date to my ILs so they come a few weeks after the baby is born this time around.  [/quote]
