Could it be teeth, or a new skill she wants to perfect? or the onset of stranger anxiety?

The fact that you said she crys while you hold her on the couch suggests pain of some sort to me, 'cause you are right there and it still happens.

A break is a wonderful idea, if you can get it.

One thing I did with both of my kids is learned to type one handed, so they could be in my arms while I got some typing done, dunno what sort of homework you have but if you can do it while she in your arms (hand her a teether and trust she WILL try to help type/write, practice helps perfect the one handed while distracting a baby :).) you might be able to get some done while she is around (and if she is in pain the whole play alone skill can wait.)

Another thing for getting work done (though I used it for folding laundry) is to do it on the floor, that way she can be right there, but hopefully playing alone while you work, if not I waved towels and told them the color, you can 'wiggle pencils' or crinkle some paper for her to play with (no pencil or pen on it please, if she chews them)

For sleep, if the couch makes her unhappy, try the bed (yours) pregnant women need sleep and you can teach her to sleep on her own later. Not sure how far along you are but if you are in the first or last tri I wouldn't bother even if I didn't have school! I would just let her stay with me for a time, though I nursed so they were there at least some times anyway. (both sleep in their own beds thru the night, both have for awhile, no CIO needed)

If she can crawl out of the playpen it has lost its effectivness, please do not rely on it to keep her safe! Babyproof the house and remember she wont be little forever, eventually she will be the one complaining about small kids chewing up her homework or something :).

Since a medical condition has been ruled out, this is my advice. I have had a childcare business for 12 years. I also have a 12 and 19 year old. I know it would be very hard on your heart but remember children will not die from crying. Put her down in her bed, go back to check on her every 10-15 minutes reassure her but DO NOT TOUCH HER OR PICK HER UP! Do this every time she starts these crying sessions. Buy some ear plugs if you need to drown out her crying. In the long run she will be a happier baby if she is not so needy of you. I am sure you are a loving mother just remember you are doing this in her best interest.

Can you take her to bed with you and let her sleep in your arms?

Is there someone who can take her while you sleep and rock her and walk her until she gets sleepy?

I bet she is teething and uncomfortable.

Poor baby, poor you. You need to sleep whenever you can, even if you have her in your arms.
