Help Please!!!! Sleep-training

Gabby

I’m currently 7 months along, and I am the primary care taker of my child. I’m with him 24/7 and haven’t had a single day without him for longer than 8hrs since birth.

So at this point I think it is fair to say as much as I love my little I am just a bit tense and annoyed.

He’s brilliant and is such a quick learner, and is super love-able, and a huge snuggler .

But as you can imagine 7 months pregnant I don’t want to be sharing my bed with my significant other let alone also my 7 month old who sprawls all over the bed and is constantly sleeping ontop of me or right next to me.

As said I love him to death but I am so tense and stressed preparing for baby #2 and also trying to figure out for the life of me how to get my child to sleep in his own bed.

I put him in his crib which is in our room at the moment and he screams and cries and it’s to the point he makes himself sick.

I’ve even tried to put him in his own room, and he does the same thing.

We were doing great to where he slept in the crib for about 4hrs. But now again all the sudden even being set in the crib so I can fold laundry or vacuum the room he screams bloody murder.

I am just at a loss as to what to do anymore, I want to cry but am so frustrated that I can’t cry. I’m beyond upset and stressed, and I know that I need to figure out a solution because the stress is getting to me to where I am having pains in my lower pelvic region when I feel myself get tense and my blood pressure is way more than what it usually is.

I am currently trying so hard to just bite my tongue and be calm with my little but the lack of sleep and being with his always and always the one providing the most hands on care with him, I am just not sure how much more I have in me before I pop a top.

I don’t want to yell, but I feel like I need to just scream.

Just so you all know I would never harm my baby, I’ve been a victim of physical and verbal abuse all my life from my real to foster parents and I don’t want to be like that at all and I refuse to let it get like that.

I just am needing help figuring this out because it’s beyond frustrating and I feel like I’m the only one here trying to solve the problem but I can’t do it, I just keep failing or when I think I have him on the right track we have a complete falling out and am back to the start.
