1D-(ps)-1H-(2S)
??

Your opened 1D, partner responded 1H, then RHO jumped with 2S.
Support double does not apply here. So, what's the double and 2NT by you now?

X = t/o
2NT = G/B

With kind regards

How do we show 18-19 balanced?

Depening on your spade holding:
3NT delayed / direct, with a direct or
delayed cue as stopper ask.

Or if you have xx in spades you make
a t/o.

As always, you forget about stopping
below game in close cases.

Whatever you've agreed them to be.
Without specific agreements double = penalties, 2NT = natural
I happen to play double = take-out, 2NT = natural
Other people will play other things, including 2NT as good/bad.

If you play 2NT as good/bad you have to bid 3NT on a balanced 18-19, or double and then bid 3NT.
