Advice Zoomies out of control at night

So we have 2 cats a dog and a baby that will be here in another month. Our cats are both around 5 years old and like any other cat gets the zoomies at night but lately it's been a bit out of control more than usual. Our one cat will literally launch himself off of us to scurry elsewhere and tonight while having his zoomies, jumped on the sofa and ran and launched himself off of my chest (I am currently the pregnant one and LUCKY he didn't run across my belly)

My fear is safety for when baby gets here. We cannot block the zoomie path and the only way we can avoid them is going to bed or literally leaving the room to avoid the cats. Literally now running our life

Any advice other than rehoming? We have talked about it and my husband and I are not the type to re-home our pets, but if they can't settle when the baby arrives or accidentally hurt the baby from their spaz episodes we won't have a choice

you have to put up cat shelves on the walls high up that create a path for them to run on go on TikTok. There’s a lot about this on there.
