My daughter wanted me there. Daughter in law wanted her mom. That's just how it is. They want you to be there for moral support but not to tell them what to do. Wash some laundry. Straighten up. Fix some meals. It's daughters time to relax and enjoy the new babe. Bond. Get a handle on emotions without having to worry about dinner. And every situation is different. She might not "need" you there for a few days but once everything hits be available. I personally don't think the first couple of weeks is the time for social visits. It's the time to be a help and support system. You might have to run interference with well wishers. It's what we do as moms for our kids
