Driving myself insane

You may need to Call gp, health visitors or midwife
I've always been a high anxiety person and this is how I felt at 5 weeks. There's nothing wrong with seeking help for anxiety but it just took time for me to feel like he wasn't going to die if I blinked or breathed wrong. Just remind yourself he's in good hands. Pray if that helps (it only helped me a little but it helped) if he wasn't in my arms I'd have him right in front of the video monitor and watch him like a hawk. He's 5 months and 3 weeks and now I'm much more relaxed with him. I just needed time.
I still feel like this sometimes and my baby is 13 weeks… I know how you feel ❤️ it does get easier though and you will feel much better in a couple of weeks hopefully x
I would talk to your doctor about it. Some anxiety is to be expected but if it’s interfering with other things, keeping you awake, etc then ask for help. Check the gentle birth app, it has good meditations.
You could have post partum anxiety. Maybe speak to your GP or health visitor
