sadness

My son is 5 weeks old. I havent had really any sadness or depression yet but today I can't stop crying. He is a good baby and my husband helps me out a lot which makes me feel guilty. I feel like a terrible mother. Is it normal to get sad after 5 weeks? It just seems like I can't soothe my child when he cries and everyone else can. I can't seem to keep up with everything.
