AFEmoWifey tells us more.
We bent over backwards to make her comfortable. However, I'm not letting her have a say in my baby making. I'm 23 years older than her so she needs to be more respectful.

Well it must be tough for her to deal with right now. Divorce is difficult for kids, and a new parent in the picture doesn't help much. Talk to your husband so he can talk to her father to daughter, and help her understand that she's having a sibling and needs to accept it. If she continues torturing you seek professional help.
The stepdaughter sounds like a self centered and spoiled little shit who doesn't want to share her dad's attention.
Precisely.
OP, just read your profile. In case she does decide to follow through with her threat, set up small cameras around the stairs just to be sure. Nice hat BTW.
As a child of divorce, and a self confessed former-brat I have some thoughts on all your judgement. First of all we don't know how long OP has been married to the child's dad, it could have been years and so she isn't so new, and second, I don't care how old the child is, if I was 12 weeks pregnant and a child phoned me (remember she didn't just say it as a passing comment, she obviously thought about it enough to ring her up and warn her- which is disturbing) to tell me that she would push me down the stairs to stop me having the baby, I wouldn't want her near my family, I would be worried for the safety of my child when it was born. I get being worried about losing attention, but when my father remarried I complained to him, I would never have dreamed of saying anything to my step-mom. I was ignored for a while when my half-brother was born, but it was the same when my full sister was born, it didn't matter that he's only a half sibling, it was only different because I wasn't there all the time. My half-brother is 10 years old now, I absolutely adore him, and my step-mom for that matter and I couldn't imagine him even grasping the concept of purposely pushing someone down the stairs. You all need to step back and think about how you would react if anyone, child or not (especially a child with a potentially poisonous mother trying to win her over like I had) threatens to push you down the stairs or to harm you or your child in anyway. Personally I think 'precisely' was an apt response on behalf of the OP.

Well you can't exactly hide it from her, so just sit her down with her dad and chat about it. If she does try anything, you'll have to take her to a psychologist or something. Good luck and congratulations for your happy news :)
I'd give the little bitch a smack for that. But of course, tell her father and get him to talk to the girl's mother if she's around and warn her that if she does anything to upset the pregnancy, there will be very serious consequences. Also, kick her down the stairs. Little wench.
No
I would suggest therapy or maybe an exersist.

Push the 10 year old down the stairs? Ok, bad plan.
That is so sad, maybe you can get her some help accepting that relationship? But from now on I'd be extra careful..
