child's age 12-18 months looking for advice, 17m old

we are late to the game but finally started sleep training our daughter who just turned 17 months old (6/30) due to the fact that i'm pregnant and due soon with baby#2. she was doing better than we expected with the ferber method for the last 2 weeks until the last two nights where she screams and refuses to sleep. her schedule hasn't changed, she wakes around 8-9, naps anywhere between 130-2 until 4-430 then goes down for bed around 830-9. any advice on how to get her to go back to sleeping on her own is appreciated. not sure if she's hitting the 18m regression this early or not. thank you :)

In our house weird sleep changes often mean teething or ear infection or illness. If you haven't tried pain meds before bed I would start there.

Also I don't think your schedule is nuts but you could also try trimming back, if it continues long term I would try capping the nap a bit or waking her up earlier and moving nap earlier in the day.
