Struggling with MH whilst pregnant

Exactly that.
This will be my second baby, my first born is nearly 2.
We're going through a really really hard time with my son atm with refusing bedtime, no naps, he's attached to me 24/7 so I feel like I never get a break.
On top of that, I have a lot of anxiety regarding my current pregnancy. I think something is wrong all the time, especially as my son is so full on with climbing on me etc.
I had a very traumatic birth and recovery with my first so I think that's also not helping.
I feel really miserable everyday and I just don't want to get out of bed because I know I'm going to have another typical long, hard day with my toddler.
I feel like I have no connection with the baby growing inside me because I worry it's going to turn out like my son and I can't handle another one.
I'm scared to reach out to anyone as I feel like I'll be judged or watched 24/7 by professionals.
I've never really had any issues with MH before so I'm feeling very overwhelmed and can't really see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Can anyone offer any advice or kind words?
