Hi all,
My beautiful baby is 7 months and gorgeous. I’ve recently been finding, over the past couple of weeks there have been a series of accidents. I feel awful and ashamed and guilt ridden.
she is fine and not hurt but it’s very silly stuff, due to carelessness such as rolling off the bed, bumping her head etc.
has anyone else had this experience? I know I just need to take better care but I honestly feel like I’m doing my best but it suddenly happens very quickly.
I know that I am tired and stressed. I had a traumatic childhood and had PTSD. When the baby was first born I felt much calmer and able to do more things but since she’s got older have been suffering from intrusive thoughts and panic attacks which I think are making me distracted.
The doctor said forgetfulness etc can be due to a hormone dip. Any tips? I feel that maybe alcohol, screens etc should be banned for a month to get me on track. Not that I’m drinking a lot or on the phone all the time btw but I just mean the odd glass of wine and so on…
thanks in advance and please don’t think I’m useless! I feel awful she’s had some scrapes recently and I swear it’s just when I turn around for 2 minutes to try and feed the dog or go to the bathroom.
