Emotions during pregnancy

I don't know if I'm being like this because of pregnancy hormones or not. I am literally at the end of my tether with my toddler and literally everything they're doing is driving me up the wall! The whole weekend has been absolutely drainiing and I feel all I have done is shout and shout some more! I feel like I'm failing as a mum because it feels like I can't control my emotions or anger. I know toddlers are challenging in general but it feels like I have to say things at least 5 times before I get a response, and then on top of it he doesn't listen anyway.

I do have low iron, so perhaps that is making me really tired too, but it feels like I just have no grip on my emotions at the moment and I hate myself for it.

I am due in early Nov, I don't know if hormones increase in the last trimester, but at the moment, I want it over with. I don't want to offend anyone who is struggling with worse in their pregnancy, but right now I don't feel myself at all and I'm not being a good mum to my toddler which is unfair. Yesterday to stop myself from shouting I sent him to bed after he threw his dinner on the floor. I'm aware tht this approach is also pretty shit. Any tips would be appreciated.
