@Amy it’s horrible! 😭 I know potty training takes a while and for me it was the refusing to let me take his pants off. Like you are beside the potty why. It’s new and maybe scary getting that independence. I feel horrible and we were having the best day that the guilt is even worse I feel like I’ve ruined the day.
That sounds so hard to potty train while pregnant. Maybe go bottomless in the house. You can buy split crotch pants on tiny undies too (for the house).
It is perfectly normal to have out of control emotions during your pregnancy, this your chance to master yourself and your reactions to become better & the opportunity to teach your child that it is ok to get upset & apologize for getting upset, this reinforces your love, understanding of their emotions & accountability. If you try to train your mind to seeing the positive side, will help alleviate lesson your stress reactors... Your son in his potty training melt down is also learning to regulate his emotions as well. We are all students and teachers for one another. My daughter is also potty training and struggled a bit in the beginning, once I began rewarding her with a "treat" and praising how big it is, while doing a potty dance, has gained much success.Occasional accidents when she's wearing a pull-up, so it's only pull-ups for car rides & bedtime, undies during the day. Change your thoughts and it will change your behaviors.. practice calmness, your growing baby needs it too
@Maggie so my son loves running around without any diaper on but he thinks it’s funny because he purposely pees everywhere he can. No pants method is a hard no for us! Lol he sees he’s like our dog (we have a boy dog who pees everywhere on walks)
it happens to all of us! tomorrow is a new day ❤️ maybe you could set an intention for yourself for l tomorrow to put your emotional needs as priority- have you’re goal for the day be to stay in an emotionally calm state by recognizing when you’re getting worked up and talking yourself down. I sometimes do this with my toddler and I think it’s good for him to see and hear how I work through my emotions!

The peeing everywhere thing sounds stressful. Oh who knew a dog would be a bad influence 🐶 You could try emailing Jamie Glowacki if you can't find any troubleshooting advice on her site
I think it's very hard to have extra stress during pregnancy. Growing a human is exhausting. Moms of toddlers and babies are the Navy seals of moms. I think losing your temper and keeping it together are harder. I had a lot of brain fog during pregnancy. It was not the same as my normal brain. You can try distracting yourself if you feel like you're losing it. Whole brain child has some tips on regulation. But you're doing a good job with the level of stress you're working with
