A woman does not need to be covered....
Why, oh why, are people looking to add more restrictions?

A Bracha may not be said when parts of the body that must be covered are showing! therefore if a woman is nursing untzniusdig she should not be saying a bracha! sorry but thats the law!!

That's your Rav's interpretation of the law, perhaps.
I learned in seminary that a woman could technically daven while completely undressed.

No anonymous, it's not the law. Why don't you look it up and then come back and report to us?

One presumably does make the bracha in the mikvah, provided she's not Sefardi.

I was told by my posek (a talmid of R' Moshe z"l) that when a woman nurses the area is not even considered a makom mechuseh (covered area) halachically for myself - I.e. do not need to wash hands after touching or cover to make a bracha.
Ask your own LOR.

a man is not allowed to see a woman uncovered when making a bracha. this refers to all the places she normally would cover. (I left it vague cause what a woman normally covers is subject to many interpretations)
a woman is allowed to see another woman while making a bracha if her "private" area is covered. e/t else can be uncovered. some even hold that because a womens organs are inside her as opposed to a man she can even say a bracha when she is fully undressed.
a man has to cover at least his privates in order to say a bracha or for a bracha to be said in front of him.

(That's the classic all squares are rectangles, not all rectangles are squares. I am not aware of any other mesorah besides Sefardim to say the bracha before immersing, so if I'm correct, anyone who says the bracha before immersing is following that minhag, but that doesn't mean that all people who are Sefardi necessarily do it  )

I'm sure some mothers would never eat if they didn't do it while nursing!! what I learned is that a woman may say brachos as long as her nether regions are covered, and may also daven in front of other undressed women. however, I also learned that women took it upon themselves to cover their hair while saying brachos (hence the washcloth on top in the mikva--don't know if everyone does this or not...) so from my understanding as long as you're wearing underwear and a tichel, you're ok!
