You should always keep a new cat seperated from established cats for at least the first week or so.
They will get to know each other through the door. Then a few days after that, switch the cats so that they can smell the other cat in the room the other was in.
It takes a little time, but it will all work out.

Hissing is normal, you have placed her in an unfamiliar home, with smells she is not used to. If you show fear or are nervous around her you could be bit. Keeping cats that do not know each other separated is the best way to stop territorial disputes from occurring, because she is pregnant, you should keep her away from the other cat until the kittens are born. Then get her spayed when the kittens are weaned. Then worry about introducing her to your resident cat.

Sounded like she was due any time, if you don't know the cat, it is wise to keep her away from the other cat(s) in the home, because pregant cats due to give birth are a bit touchy (if she is a stray).
You should keep her in confinement at least for a week if not longer so the two cats can adjust to each other-
This article may help, it was written with stray cats and ferals in mind-
