Yeah, I have a 10 month old girl and my ibs has been awful this year. Your future MIL sounds like an absolute recipe for disaster. Be careful! Also talk to your boyfriend about helping take some of the night time wakings for you. Its probably best to trade nights, so you can sometimes have a full nights sleep. We tried everything with my daughter - read lots of books on sleep - ferber, weisbluth, and several others. Ferber wasn't as "evil" as we thought, its not pure crying it out. In the end it didn't work for us, but its worked for many people. You have to do what feels right for you of course and no one has a right to criticize. Have you talked to your pediatrician about it?
My only suggestion baby-wise would be to be sure you're not going in, too soon. We found that when we stopped running in immediately and waited just 2 minutes, she would sometimes fall back asleep.
Hang in there, its not easy at all, but its worth it!
