Pregnant and teenage step daughters

My DS and I are having our first child together hes got two daughters from his previous marriage both in there teens now. The oldest will be 18 and the youngest is gonna be 14 this year. I dont see them often since my DS isnt home often cause of his job. We just moved about 4 months ago so we are now an hr away from them so I could be closer to my job instead of driving 130 miles a day to and from work. The oldest SD has an issue with me the youngest doesnt mind me far as I know. I've never done anything to these girls but the whole time their mother has said a lot of nasty things about me and I dont really want to interact with her so I stay away when he picks up the girls. When I found out I was pregnant I didnt want him telling them till I was ready because the first time I got pregnant and had a miscarriage the ex said a lot of nasty things about me to them and told the girls the child was replacing them. I was trying to hold out him telling them but he disregarded my wishes when I said they dont need to come to the house right now cause I've got my pregnancy stuff out everywhere right now. So I just got mad and told him to go ahead since he couldnt respect my wishes to not bring the youngest over. Since the oldest doesnt want to be around me for some reason dont know why all of a sudden she doesnt want me around. I'm not even sure what the girls think of me being pregnant cause nobody has said anything to me. I feel like both my child and I are gonna be rejected by them cause the baby will take a lot of my DS time when hes home. Then I worry about what their mother is also telling them about this child. I know the whole new baby and the other kids being jealous happens in a lot of families. Is there anything I can do to help my child though this if these girls was to push my child away.

Hi. Congratulations. 

Worry about your immediate family. Ie you, your pregnancy and your partner. 

You are somewhat disengaged from these other children/step kids. It doesn’t matter what they think don’t let it get to you. Easier said than done I know.

If it’s stressfull, stay disengaged until a better time.

Sure, don't introduce  your new baby to them.... ever. Problem avoided.

If the SD's are the hell spawned minions of a toxic BM, they have no place in your child's life.  Sadly, it is  your DH that will be the one to suffer through all of this.  But... he has not kept his X nor his daughters under control so ..... tough crap.

FYI - DS here is usually used to indicate Dear Son not Dear Spouse. Makes your post a bit creepy. Smile

Lol,

I did not even catch that.  A huge difference in flavor when I reread it while paying attention.
