Super annoying mother n law

So Im 18 and I realize thats a young age to become a mother. BUT this will not be my first time raising a baby. I get my boyfriends mother just wants to be supportive but shes so annoying!!!!!!!!!! She never leaves me alone. And people always tell me its going to get worse once my son is born. WHAT can I do and sat to her to get my space. Btw we live in her home which makes things harder. We will be moving out before baby gets here.

My mother in law did the same thing. Im a reserved person i hate being touched. Literally my husband is the only one who can touch my belly without approval. I freak out when others touch me. But when it came down to names, we had picked out names before we even got pregnant. His mom hates them and kept trying to get us to change it to what she wants. It was REALLY upsetting me and my husband. Finally i told him hed have to say something. So he told her shes had 5 kids to name, this child is ours and its our choice what to name her. She backed off a bit but kept coming to me with names so i had to repeat my husbands words and adding we have a name and its not changing. So she stopped with that at least lol now its how to manage the pain which is fine but she doesnt listen to me when i tell her what has been working for me, she just says no you have to do this or that. I just say ok ill try it next time but keep doin what works for me.

Exactly my morher n law! She wants me to raise my child how she raised her kids. She wants me to buy everything she bought, get the same colors as she gor, she even thinks she should be naming my child!! Me and my boyfriend have a name picked out for him and She knows that and she'll come up randomly rubbing my belly calling him the name she wants like how annoying!!

Simply explain to her how you feel. My mother in law is the same way but her thing is she wants me to raise my kids how she thinks j should and that just won't happen

She cares honestly not most women have a mother figure around to help them I would love to have someone like your mother in law in my life.

I know, part of it is the hormones though, and I unfortunately it doesn't get better. You can only make the best out of things. For me I just work a lot and have my time away so it doesn't get to stressful you know?

Im sort of in th same predicament, I'm 20 years old. I know it gets aggravating, but you just have to think of it this way, theres so many women out there that don't have the support, so I just tell myself to appreciate it:)
