Horrible mom

i just gotta get it off my chest. My son is 6m and for the first time today he fell…off my bed. We stopped leaving him on the bed alone once he could roll over, however we occasionally will set him down on the bed to get gas drops from our bathroom (literally 5 feet from the bed) and it has never been an issue as he is only there for 10-15 seconds and we’re still watching him the whole time. but today as i was putting him down for a nap he was mostly asleep but moving around cause of some gas and i laid him in the middle of the bed and as soon as i looked down at the medicine bottle to open it, i heard a loud thud. i immediately ran over and picked him up, he was crying and i checked him for bumps and bruises and there was none, i got him to stop crying and nursed him and he fell asleep for his nap. once i put him in the crib and left the room i just broke down sobbing. i feel horrible, i don’t know how he moved so quickly and i just feel like the worst mom in the world for putting him in a situation that he got hurt.

I know it feels like the end of the world but honestly, 90% of us have been there!

I turned around when my girl was 5 months to move her bouncer and she rolled off the bed within seconds! Just keep an eye for any concussion signs, otherwise they’re tougher than we think x

I know it doesn’t make it better in this moment, but he’s okay. And you will be too. It’s the worst feeling, but it’s also a right of passage lol

Rolling…

14 week baby started rolling 2 weeks ago, this morning I have found him face down (I panicked straight away and turned him on his back) - he was fine. 5 mins later he is sound asleep on his side!

He can’t roll front to back yet. Neck control is improving daily but I’m terrified to sleep now.

Any advice welcome🥲

Parenting styles

Am i in the wrong? So for context, me and my boyfriend have different parenting styles. I prefer to discipline our daughter by calmly explaing what she did wrong, asking her to apologise and make sure the persons okay whereas my boyfriend prefers to raise his voice so she starts crying and pyt her in time out and tell me im not allowed to go "save" her. I don't feel there's a need to put her in timeout and make her cry, i feel like it's just creating unnessecary trauma. He keeps complaing that i'm disipline her properly and that i'll soon learn why we don't take her out of timeout and why we shout and apparently i'm making her hate him by being the gentler parent but i know she loves her dad so much. What do you guys think?

Overthinking

I’m 1 month postpartum and I can’t stop overthinking everything I do for my self, like I wanna wear jeans but when I put them on I take them right off because I start overthinking on if I’m gonna irritate something and bleed again and its mentally exhausting.. any other moms do this?

If your pram was this mouldy, wouldn't you replace it instead of paying $$ to get it "cleaned"?

I came across a post about a pram cleaning company and was kind of appalled. If my pram was this mouldy I would rather replace it, than pay $$ to get it cleaned. Most times mould can't be fully cleaned out and I would rather buy another even if it was 2nd hand. Just want to know what others think? Would you throw it out at that point and look for another whether that was new, off a free site or even used as I stated above?

Do I need to see a Pelvic floor physio?

My midwife told me I need to see a women’s health/pelvic floor physio at 6 weeks postpartum to clear me to exercise/ give me an exercise rehab plan.
I had a vaginal birth with an intact perineum.

I’m wondering how necessary it is since it’s really expensive and I haven’t heard of other people doing this. Has anyone else been told to see a physio before exercising?/ do you think it’s necessary?
