Why does 20 month old suddenly hate me?

Posting for traffic as not sure who'll be on at 5am

My 20 month old has just woke up crying hysterically and his dad went to get him (pregnant and struggle to pick him up out of the cot) and brought him into our room.

He calmed down on dad so he placed him on the bed next to me where he started screaming again so dad picked him up and I went to the toilet, again dad calmed him down but when I walked back in he started screaming again so dad took him into the hallway calmed him down brought him back in and yes, again when he saw me he started screaming again. (By screaming I mean crying hysterically).

So dad has taken him downstairs as apparently he can't stand the sight of me and I'm probably hormonal as I know toddlers aren't rational but I'm really upset.

Would they be a reason for this? He won't let me near him and I don't know what to do.

My DD did this when I was pregnant, it was like she detached in preparation for the baby. It didn't last!

He is probably thinking no no my mum needs a rest! Let's get away from her so she can go back to sleep!
