To be so angry at my step dad

My Mum had me quite young and split with my dad when I was a teen, I’m now in my 20s and my mum has remarried.
She found out she was pregnant but didn’t want another child due to her age but her husband did and wanted her to keep it.
She ended up losing the baby and because she was at home on her own she nearly died as she lost so much blood she lost consciousness and I found her.
Fast forward a year and mum is pregnant again and says she knows he will keep on until he gets a child.
Secondly I have been accused of being jealous because I’m worried that I will lose my mum and he doesn’t seem to care one ounce about her health as long as he gets his child.
AIBU to really hate this selfish prick who knows my mum nearly died and doesn’t want another baby but is willing to risk her health to stop him keeping on?

Has she had advice from a health professional? What happened might not mean she is anymore at risk than any other pregnant woman this time. Also your mum might really want another child especially after this previous pregnancy.

Have you spoken to her about your worries about her health?
