Should I talk to someone?

I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar.

My daughter is 3 months old and at 1st we experienced all sorts of problems with her and she just wouldn't sleep (which obviously sent me crazy) We've been back and forth to doctors and I've it all sorted now so she's happy we're enjoying her. Though lately I'm having days where I just feel like I don't want to be a Mum. I feel so unbelievably guilty for even feeling like this as I love her more than anything and most days I'm over the moon and am so happy to have her and that I get to be with her everyday. It's just these random days where I just cry all day and feel like I shouldn't ever have had kids as I'm a rubbish mum and like I'm letting her down. Again I feel awful for feeling this.
Is this a 'phase' as such, like the baby blues, or does this sound something like post natal depression? I've never had any experience with this and didn't really know anyone else to ask. I'm sorry if I've waffled! I just hate feeling this way.
Thanks for any advice. Smile

I would go and talk to someone - what's to lose?

You're doing a good job. Babies that don't sleep are hard work.
