21 month old won't go to sleep

That's it really. Ds currently jumping up and down like a crazy thing. Hasn't been great at self settling since about Christmas- 18 month sleep regression hit early and hard. Had a brief period recently where he went back to self settling but last few nights bedtime taking 1-2 hours. And he is awake at 5:30 regardless of whether he falls asleep at 7:30 or 9:30. Any tips? I'm not great at leaving him- just left for 10 min until he got very upset went back in. Did stories and put back to cot. He just keeps wanting more stories and when I put him to bed he does anything other than lie still! It wouldn't be so bad if I could leave the room but he wants me to sit by the cot.

DH thinks we should drop nap but he still has 1.5 hours and we have to wake him from this. Also I'm a few weeks pregnant and really need those naps on the weekend!

Any advice greatly received

And then up 4 times in the night and up for the day at 5 am. Any tales of hope?
