Can I have a private post please…

I have an 18 month old son, who is pushing everything I have today. He can’t talk but he’s very good at communicating. I’m 4 months pregnant and quite over weight so I, like everyone else am dying in this heat, I’m so tired and just do not have the energy. If it was just the case of watching him and feeding him ect I would be alright. But his behaviour is out of control. I’ve had a health visitor look at him already for signs of autism just as he is sooo strong and intelligent and the lack of speech, although not worrying yet is something else on top. He has the worst tantrums throws himself to the floor (and I’ll be honest a few times I just haven’t been able to catch him falling about 3ft to the floor) he’s really heavy due to his incredible strength. I mean I struggle to pin him down at nappy change times (yes most of the time I have to pin him to the floor as he just will not cooperate) we have tried potty training and it’s going alright although extremely messy. I’ve tried sign language with him which he knows just won’t use. He’s seriously defiant (I know how stupid this seems but I’ll tell him not to do something he will look at me and do it anyway. He understands fully) he is vicious lashing out at everyone around him. I’m not at soft touch by any means (not that I think it affects anything at this age surely the more understanding you are the more well rounded they become) but I just feel like I’m constantly battling with him. I’ve lost my voice from screaming so much today (I know shouting is awful aswell but it’s a last ditch attempt to get his attention to stop what he’s doing) I’ve cried 4 or 5 times today argued with my mum about him his behaviour. We are both on edge hot and tired. I’m dreading having another I’m so scared that I can’t cope. I can barely cope with him. Everything was fine before and I can’t imagine this lasting another 3 years. What will I do when I’m breastfeeding the new born and he’s attacking the dog because he’s sleeping …what do I do when shouting doesn’t work
I feel so frustrated alone and like I’ve failed.
