Feeling Guilty.
Today I feel so guilty. My baby is 4 weeks old and while carrying him thru a room I banged his head on the door frame. He cried for 1 second then stopped, he is fine but I completly broke down crying and have been virtually all day. I have been coping so well so far & love him more than anything but today I'm not coping, I feel like the worst mum ever! I was stressed anyway cos today he won't stop being sick and washed changed 2 tops and loads of bibs and muslins...I no its not his fault but the mess stresses me out. I said to my oh "I'm so stressed, I can't do anything right, I hate him". Im welling up now cos I didn't mean it. Of course I don't hate my lo. But I said I did and I feel so bad. I havent stopped crying all day. I dont think I have PND as up till now I been fine and even relished spending time with him during the sleepless nights.....am I just having a bad day??

you definately aren't the only mummy to accidently bump your lo... I dropped Cole on his head when he was about 10 weeks old..he cried for 5 minutes... I cried for more like 5 hours!!
