My LO started potty training the beginning of April and was doing so amazing, only had 1 accident at nursery for 6 weeks. About 2.5 weeks ago its completely gone backwards and she seems to be doing worse then when she initially started. She has recently been unwell for about a week so the potty training wasnt as consistent but even prior to this she was having a couple of accidents at nursery and home. This week she has had a total of 15 accidents over a couple of days and I know the staff take her consistently. Im also currently 8 weeks pregnant and she doesn't know yet, im worried how it its going to go thw further along I get with number 2.
Has anyone been through anything similar or just have any advice as im feeling very deflated and then guilty for being upset about it.

Don't feel guilty for being upset, its normal to question why it is happening and possibly question if it is something you have done or not done.
I havent been through this myself as we are still early in potty training, but a few of my friends with their LOs (now 4 and 5yrs) did go through it.
- being ill will often cause a regression
- a development stage can cause regression (there is one about this age, often upsets sleep as well)
- has there been any changes at nursery? (E.g. staff change or need kids joining the room)
- could she be picking up on your emotions being hightened, especially stress levels?
Tgank you for your reply, I do wonder if she can sense my stress and hormones currently or if she can sense something is different. With Nursery nothing has changed in her room with staff or anyone new joining.
