Sleep when pregnant with older children

Just wanted to do a quick poll because I don't know if I'm being unreasonable.

If you're currently in your second or third pregnancy, do you expect your other half to take care of the kids during the night to protect your sleep? Or do you think it's as much your responsibility to look after the kids in the night?

Currently tired and angry after being woken up by my husband and 4 year old for no particularly good reason, and I'm so exhausted.

DH isn’t good on broken sleep, but he’s still getting up with toddler DD - first trimester here too. He does the nights and often she sleeps through, but I get up with her in the morning and he sleeps in a bit longer. Sometimes I go to bed at the same time as her, so I can have a lovely long stretch of sleep. Only exceptions are if he has an important meeting, super early start or a long drive. And the caveat that after two middle of the night wakes, I will have a turn. It works well for us (and night shifts were always a big bone of contention before I was pregnant).
