I have two girls and one baby due in three weeks.

I have a three year old who was dry in the day by the age of two, then dry at night by 2.5 for two months then we went abroad for two weeks and it's completely thrown her back and she's rarely dry at night now.

Second daughter is 19months, and still in nappies, which I know is still a young age. She knows when she needs to go to poo and tells me but doesn't like the potty. And by the time I get her to the toilet she's done it already. I feel like I haven't introduced it to her enough even though she sees us and big sis using the toilet. We put her on the toilet before bath time but she doesn't wee a lot or at all sometimes.

I don't want to be stressing us all out trying to intensively potty train her (and also dd1 at night) when a new baby will be coming in three weeks when I will have enough to do, but I also don't want to leave it too long. In regards to dd1 night wetting, I have stopped pull ups again as they just made her wee even more. And have resorted to washing her bedding every day. But with dd2 I want to try her on the potty more but just taking each day as we go and depending on how manic the day is with three kids?!

3 is still quite young to be dry at night. Go back to pullups at night. Don't worry about dd2. Try her when no3 is a bit older.
give yourself a break

I think I'll just see what dd2 shows more interest. I won't be doing any routinely potty training for a while. Just go by her lead really.
