Hi could i please have a post put up privately on my behalf? Thank you.

If someone can help me please. I have a 13 month old dd who is usually smiley but does have a short temper at times and currently 15 weeks pregnant meant to be on bed rest due to risky pregnancy scare earlier. I’m really struggling with dd at the minute- she has began whining really frequently over what i couldn’t tell you and throwing lots of temper tantrums throughout the day. This has escalated over the past 1-2 weeks and i am at a loss how to handle her and quite upset and exhausted over it. She acts worst for me than dh. If i ignore the tantrum it doesn’t work, if i try to talk calmly it doesn’t work, letting her cry just gets her into hysterics and she can’t do anything for herself (ie. Get own dummy at end of string or reach for toy she initially cried over), distraction doesn’t always work either. She’ll tantrum over things as simple as; dinner not in front of her quickly enough or not wanting to sit in playpen in kitchen to allow me to do chored! I don’t want to raise an impatient short tempered child or “give in” and yet look at her and say she is a baby, i can’t communicate or “discipline” as she hasn’t a notion. I have minimal family support. Husband not home til near her bedtime and by that stage I’m fit to run for the hills. Other relatives say I’ve “over indulged” her and spoiled her which doesn’t help. Thought is it teeth, is she tired with clock change, reaction to recent vaccine?.. but she seems well physically. She’s sleeping the same as always- 2 naps in the day and b/w 10-12 hrs at night. No temps. She’s not yet an independent walker which i don’t think helps and she’s not keen on crawling- only likes cruising. Teeth don’t seem to be a big bother either. Please if anyone can help with some advice or own stories I would really appreciate it as i feel like a bad parent for letting my own frustrations get in the way, i am emotionally upset over this pregnancy scare as it is and I’m just drained with dd- days with her alone are soo long and emotionally difficult. I feel i have nothing left to give by 7pm every evening 😣Thanks for taking time to read.
