For more context, my SIL (46) who hasn’t got any children due to health conditions is trying to take over my first pregnancy. She’s insisting that she will be at all of my midwife, scan appointments and being at the birth instead of my husband as well as telling me when to start buying baby things and throwing my gender reveal Party. I have told her to back off and now she’s throwing a tantrum and saying nasty things. My husband and MIL have told her to back off because it’s stressing me off and to be honest I do not want any relationship with her, as she has past history with my BIL’s wife and chasing her away from the family. I have tried to include in the past but all she did was cause arguments between me and my husband.

It sounds like you've made your position clear and I'm glad your husband and MIL are backing you. If there are things that you'd like to involve her in at some point I'm sure that would be really nice as it can't be easy if you've always wanted a family and but if there's no way for her to keep her own emotional baggage in check then it's always your call at the end of the day!

I’d reschedule any appointments she knows of and just go without her.
