I can't beleive she wouldn't even ask first!

That being said, I guess it depends on your situation whether or not I would accept the help. If she is going to be staying at your house, it might make the adjustment even more stressful. If she is going to be staying somewhere else, it might be nice to have the extra set of hands around the house. Just make sure you give her a list of things to do like laundry and shopping, etc. I'm sure your mom wants to see her grandbaby during those first few weeks, but hopefully she will give you and DH plenty of time to bond by yourselves too.
