[quote=Anonymous]OP please consider the option you first thought was good.  Letting her be there until you're about to push, then having her leave, then come back right after birth.  And don't lie about it, just explain that you love her and understand how she wants to be part of this, but you're uncomfortable with that part.

Don't listen to all these basic assholes who think the world revolves around them and they don't even want to be bothered to hear that someone else has a thought or a feeling.  Some of these answers are so sad.  The pp who said "she's sad?  'oh well.'"  how cold can you be???? It's rare here on DCUM where families actually get along and...wait for it...actually (GASP!?!) consider other people's feelings.

You are very fortunate to get along with your in-laws and you are very gracious to be considering your MIL's feelings.  It sounds like she is asking and yet still understands that it may not be possible because you're not her bio daughter.
So, whatever you decide, congratulations on your new baby and congratulations on having a family where there is reciprocity of respect and feelings. Hopefully that turns into a lifetime of wonderful family memories.
