Can you get help from family to take care of kids ? Is your spouse stepping up to do more during your pregnancy? Try to talk to leadership about your situation and see if you can delay your promotion to Partner by a year or so to handle stress better.

Have you considered exit to industry where it may be a bit more manageable?
As a new parent of 2 myself, totally see how it can be overwhelming, even without the pressure of partner track.
First, do you have help? 9-5 type of help or more help throughout the day/evening? What about weekends? Even if it’s temporarily for a few months, could you get additional help with the kids even if it’s for a few extra hours/weekends.
Second, how’s your pregnancy going? When are you due? Is it a difficult one? Mood and body changes are only going to make it more challenging if you’re experiencing stress and anxiety from work on top of that.
Also do you have a partner? Are they able to help support in other ways for you? What’s their reaction to all this? Have you sought therapy?
If 1 year is unrealistic, what about taking that one month off before you’re due as part of FMLA? That combine with maternity leave could give you at least a partial reset from the work stuff.
Pro
You got a lot going on!
Buy all the help you can get. Nanny, cleaning service, meal prep. Bring in a family member for support. Both you and hubby coast at work for a bit.
