Baby 2 due in 7 weeks - toddler doesn't sleep

We are due our second child in 7 weeks time. I'm genuinely so fed up with my toddlers sleep issues and terrified about how I will cope that I wish we weren't having another baby.

My 27 month old is incapable of falling asleep on his own and hasn't slept through the night since he was about 8 months old. It can take up to 90 mins on an evening to fall asleep and he wakes numerous times. I had two miscarriages before this pregnancy and terrible morning sickness to 17 weeks and got in the habit of co sleeping with him to just get through.

In an added complication he was diagnosed with sleep apnoea and has recently had his tonsils and adenoids out to supposedly help his sleep.

I'm at the end of my tether with him not sleeping. I have no idea at all how I'm going to cope with a newborn and a non sleeping toddler. I can feel myself sinking into depression at how impossible the situation is, I just feel like I have got this so wrong to be in this bloody awful situation now

Get a sleep consultant in and it will be sorted in time.
