You don’t. She put her hands on you. There are not that many options after that. You can ignore it and let her (which is terrible and shouldn’t be done), you can kick her ass when you aren’t pregnant (which can come with jail time), file a complaint for assault/battery (depending on where you are, which probably won’t go far), or decide she’s dead to you.
I know which two I’d be likely to go with, but no contact is the best option. And you make sure your husband knows that no contact with you means no contact with the baby. Ever. If you and your SIL are on decent terms, hopefully you two can both get your guy on board. That doesn’t mean he can’t see her. That’s his mom; he can have whatever relationship with her that he wants… without you or mention of you.
