I have a brand new little boy. He's beautiful and I am completely in awe of him. I had a very complicated pregnancy, a difficult birth and a short stay in hospital afterwards. A tough few months and it's affected me quite severely.
I'm anxious. I can't sleep because I'm scared something will happen to him in his sleep. I have dreams of SIDS which I wake up sweating from. I don't like being in the other room from him. I'm convinced his heel prick test is going to find something terrible. He's not breastfeeding properly which I feel awful about. I'm desperately trying to get it to work. He was only 5lb2 when he was born, he's so tiny and fragile (and lovely).
Is it normal to feel this anxious? Am I being ridiculous? I feel like a bit of a mess and just want him to be ok.
