And when I 1st met my boyfriends mom I was terrified and sometimes im still abit shy around her and its been 8 months since we 1st met! But she's really nice to me and always ask for me and stuff, I even have her number on my cell phone(lol). I got her a christmas present and whever I come over her house I always try to talk to her and stuff. Be natural don't try to be somthing or some1 you're not be yourself. When she was sick I brought her ginergale and stuff. She doesn't have any daughters only sons, so try make her realize that you respect her and feel comfortable enough tto see her like she's your own mom. Hope this helps. : )

However, boys' mothers are a different kettle of fish. No woman is ever good enough for their son, so once you understand that you'll be able to take appropriate measures to win her over.
You could take her a small bunch of her favourite flowers, I think that would be appreciated and would put you on the right side of her from the start. Maybe also a box of chocs - you could ask your fella what her favourite flowers and chocs are so you get it right first time. There's nothing worse than presenting someone with dark chocolate when they prefer milk, or giving flowers whose perfume give her a headache!
Other than that, just be yourself, because if you try to put on airs and graces and pretend you're something you're not, you'll soon trip yourself up and look a fool.
Best of luck! (and do please let us know how you get on!)
