feeling down

[chrystaltips]

I'm having a bad day today. All I've done is cry. I feel like I just can't cope. I feel awkward around Rowan, like I don't know what to do with her and I just wish she would sleep all day so I don't have to do anything with her. I love her but I feel like motherhood is never going to come easy to me and worry I'm not bonding with her enough because I get so frustrated with her sometimes and feel like I'm minding someone else's baby. Sorry ladies, I hate feeling this way, it's crap! Is it normal to feel like this?

I can't answer but wanted to send you these...

I'm sure things will work out for you.

Hi I felt exactly like this when my LO was the same age - I just didn't know what to do with her and felt guilty for it. In fact I still have the odd day like that but it does get better and is totally normal I think.

Its a case of the baby blues love

Completely normal.....You'll get through it and if you feel like you need support there is plenty out there. Its great your communicating it as so many don't and i think that is a bit of a worry in itself. Being a mother is all about your growth emotionally too and that is something no one tells you. It is the biggest learning curve i've ever been on. Make sure you make some time for you. Have candlelit baths simple things like that.

Have some more hugs
