Pregnancy hormones and annoying family members

Advise needed please...
I'm 6mths pregnant and its my first, have been trying for 3yrs so im so happy its finally happening. Now I'm aware hormones can be a very big issue in pregnancy when it comes to mood swings and stress, I just want to know if I'm being unreasonable here....
So my sister has always been one to cause issues in our family (7yrs younger than me currently 25yrs old) from stealing a phone to being incredibly stupid when in risky situations. She is very self concerned and complains about depression and anxiety and has done for years, were not close and never have been. She's always caused me grief as I've had to get her out of situations that she has caused.
I arranged a family day out, and she was late as per usual as she had been up at 4am and this is a stunt she always pulls. We get to our destination and she knows im pregnant and hormonal. She wears the wrong clothing and footwear for the occasion even though I told her 3 days ago what weather to expect. She moaned all day. After dropping her off she sends me a text saying she wants to discuss our relationship and particularly her issues with it. I told her its not the right time to be dealing with these kinds of issues whilst im pregnant and cause me more stress than needed, which her response is that she doesn't want to be around me until I talk to her about how she feels about our relationship (we don't have one, and I see her as little as possible). Am I being unreasonable here....

Definitely not selfish on your part. These 9 months that your carrying your baby are not about her and her drama. You don't need anything stressing you out especially after waiting so long to conceive. Don't worry she will soon change her mind about being around you without a conversation once your baby arrives a lot of family members normally do.

I honestly wouldnt give it a second thought, enjoy your pregnancy and have the conversation when your ready and its safe to do so. Currently pregnant myself and avoiding all stress and stressful sitautions for the sake of my baby.

Hard to say, but probably tabby. And it has no thing to do with your pregnancy... she just sounds super immature.

Tabby = yanbu

Tell her not to be around you then 💁🏽‍♀️

But in all seriousness, she sounds like a drama. You've told her you don't want stress so best to follow through so she gets the hint that she is no longer the epicentre of the world. I have family members like this and as soon as I got pregnant with DD I set a few records straight ....
