Visitors at hospital

How you you feel about visitors at the hospital after birth? We live an hour away from where we will deliver and Im not fond of the idea of many visitors. Especially my husbands parents. His dad is great, but his mom is quite negative most of the time and really likes to make things about her. She hasnt always treated me well. Lots of snide comments at holidays and the like... Im just uncomfortable with her being there at such a tender time. Is that awful??? I feel like I will have to deny any of my friends or my mother as well if I ask them to not come up.
