When I was pregnant with SE, my mother offered the same thing that you are. I would be under the same roof but she would take on whatever responsibility that I couldn't handle. I couldn't do that to my baby. They need stability form the moment they come into the world. Her aparents got there minutes after she was born and were the ones to hold her every day in the hospital. I never changed a diaper nor did I feed her the three days I was there with her. This baby deserves the same stability. It's the little one that needs to be considered first, not mom.
And think of it from this perspective too.... You take baby, baby bonds fully with you, momis ready and takes baby back but baby doesn't bond the same with her....Now instead of mom missing baby but knowing baby is ok, mom may resent the lack of attachment. Could cause a whole other mess.
Just my viewpoint...
