Scared of how I'm gonna cope with 2

Hi all,
I have a ds almost 3 and am 13 weeks pregnant with no2. Am just getting over morning sickness but still feeling quite tired and grim at times.
Today has been a terrible day. Dh is stressed out with work and got up at 4.45 this morning waking me up having a shower in our ensuite. He then felt the need to go upstairs ( we live in a town house) and creaked around disturbing our son. My alarm went off at 6.30 so I could have a shower and wash my hair before getting our son up.
My ds and I have both been exhausted today but I have been so short tempered and literally screamed at him several times. I feel so guilty and keep apologizing to him for behaving so badly. I feel like I'm losing it and cannot imagine how I will cope with two.
I suffered quite badly with PND with my ds and only started feeling less overwhelmed about a year ago. I feel like giving up.
Please tell me it is normal to feel like this sometimes!

Welcome to Skye, and oh no about you and your partner Beckie. That'S nut a good situation to be in with a new baby on the way. I'm sure you'll make the right decision.
Well, our day has been a very mixed bag. Ds has had two big tantrums, one this afternoon when my dh took him out for a walk to the park and after 15 minutes I had a call from dh, ds was having a tantrum in the middle of the street and refusing to go with my dh. I actually had to go out and get them! When I got him home I put ds on his thinking step and explained that his behaviour was unacceptable.
It's becoming so wearing and I constantly feel it's because I'm a bad parent and doing something terribly wrong,

my ds has had about17 tantroms today been hard work. i just dont feel prepared to stand around while he walks all over me, hes been so unsuportive of me, im 20 years old its hard enough as it is without him making things worse, tbh i think hes been pretty immature hes older than me but wouldnt think it, arr well, if he wants to carry on in his ways it will be his loss.
your not been a bad parent bensmum, but i know how you feel when he starts paddying and screaming in public it makes me feel bad because i think my god people must think hes very badly done to. quite the opposite hes been spoilt 2 much.

My DS has been testing his limits all weekend the little buggar (Grin)

Think its starting to rub off on him now that Mummy isnt as patient and as active as usual and he's starting to attention seek a little which is a bit sad as i dont want him feeling like im not there as much, im just sooo tired all the time and can hardly just get on the floor so easily with him now with my big belly!
