Telling my ex that I am pregnant?

Just wondering if any of you had some advice for me...
My ex & I have been divorced for over a year now, and we have a 2 year old daughter together that is adopted. Well...I am just about 6 months pregnant now and still haven't told him. Mainly because i'm afraid of him trying to take our daughter for full custody saying "Well you have your own baby now, you don't need her"- I know that sounds stupid, but he would pull something like that. And he has lawyers who happen to be his best friends who would do all the legal work for free, and he knows I can't afford an expensive custody battle. This pregnancy was not planned, in fact i'm not even with the father- and I am TERRIFIED of what my ex will do. He is actually engaged and this weekend we got into a fight because he said that I need to start getting along with his girlfriend because our daughter loves her, and I am going to make it difficult for her when she's older. That's a long story, but I'll NEVER get along with his girlfriend (she use to be a friend of mine- enough said) and he pulled the "maybe she's better off with me full time" threat which he pulls on me once a month. The thought of teling him about the pregnancy TERRIFIES me since he's so quick to pull out threats. Any advice? Sorry for babbling...

Honestly, I wouldn't tell him. It's really none of his business. Of course he'll figure it out in time, but I think I'd just let it go and stay out of the line of fire.

If he goes to court and says "Well you have your own baby now, you don't need her", any sane judge will laugh him silly!
