Advice and re assurance please 😞
Im pregnant and have a 2 year old who does not sleep at all.
My husband works overnight: 50+ hours a week. I have no friends or family to help me.
Im worried about the baby as hes measuring low and im panicking about it.
could this be lack of sleep?
Im constantly nervous and depressed as I feel like I’ve neglected my unborn child

You are doing the best you can. How far along are you? I would speak to the midwife about your concerns, stressed and anxiety can impact your baby so they might help referring you. Can your 2yr sleep with you? Might help getting some rest. Does he have a nap during the day? If so, maybe make it shorter and no later than 3pm. You can try to put him down earlier as well
When i had my 2nd child i felt the same as my 1 year old wasnt sleeping properly. Then all of a sudden when baby was born, during hubbys paternity leave, my 1 year old started sleeping through. 🤲🤷🏽♀️ you literally never know xx
