Potty training one month in.. very slow progress. Idk if I should stop or continue..

I've been potty training my now 21 month old girl (since of last week) for about one month now. I'm pregnant and due in July 2026 so I thought I could give it a try since she was basically trained for poops since 17-18 months and was used to the potty and toilet adaptator. We did the 3 day method. Day 1 was horrible we had like 10+ accidents she was peeing everywhere. But by day 2-3-4 it was less and less accidents. She would tell us after she peed and if not we would prompt her every 20-30min. For that age, we were like Okay things are going great. We are now one month in and we only had maybe 2 days with 0 accidents bc of prompts (usually only 1 accidents a day, rarely 2). She initiated maybe 3 times before peeing in a month. Usually she will say peepee, have a tiny amount of pee in her underwear and will be able to finish in the toilet which is what was keeping me going. I was thinking to myself Okay she is super young it will take time, but I see progress. Fast forward the last 3 days.. horrible. We have like 3-4 accidents a day and half of them are full on accidents where she has nothing left to do on the toilet after. She always tells us but after. So it's not like she doesn't understand or care (like in the beginning where she would just continue playing and say nothing after accidents, so here again.. a little bit of progress).It's getting rough but she is still doing better than the first week but at the same time it's been a month... She is also starting her "no" phase which complicates things. Idk what to do. I would feel like a failure to just stop and I'm scared of ruining the little but present progress she made. I don't want to do it freshly PP and I don't want to wait until she is like 2.5 -3y. Any advice? do I continue? Is this normal? after how many weeks, months of still having accidents should I really consider stopping?
