UPDATE :I’m a piece of shit mom

Update: wow thank you so much for the overwhelming words of support! I’m a ftm and felt so unworthy of my baby for letting this happen to her! 2 days later and baby is totally fine, she doesn’t have a scratch on herself. I’m pretty sure I have a concussion though. My neck doesn’t move and I still have a pounding headache with dizziness, but I’d do it all over again to protect her. Talk about those mom reflexes.... so glad those kicked in and I was able to dive face down into the concrete! I was feeling so shitty and cried for like 30 hours straight, so I really appreciate all your support!!!

I read all the warnings, and I still left my baby unattended for 10 seconds while I was grabbing a burp cloth. I saw she was going to tip over from the couch and I jumped so fast, head directly into the floor, to protect her so she would fall on me and not on the floor.

She cried because she was scared, but I don’t think she actually hit the floor. On the other hand, the side of my back is all bruised and my head hit the floor with such force that I can’t even move my head side to side without getting s terrible headache and neck pain.

I’m a piece of shit. I don’t deserve to be a mom
