Can’t stop worrying about my newborn, please help

[Emismama]

Hi all, this is my first post on here but I’m absolutely desperate for some reassurance and guidance.
I had my beautiful baby girl 6 days ago by emcs after a lengthy failed induction but was up and about that evening and feeling ready to start my journey as a mum. Since then I find I’m constantly worried about something around the baby. Whether it be if she’s feeding enough (formula fed), having enough wees and poos, sleeping too much or not enough! Literally just everything. My partner has been amazing and always reassures me that we’re doing an amazing job but just doesn’t understand why I’m anxious or worrying. Baby seems to be doing great, struggling a bit in the heat but aren’t we all! But I just feel like I can’t enjoy these early newborn days because all I’m doing is worrying over every little thing. I just want to do my best for my little girl. Please tell me it’s normal to feel like this and it gets easier to cope with! Thanks everyone, the mumsnet community has been a god send to me throughout pregnancy!

It's totally normal. The hormones send you a bit bonkers, into hyper protective mode.

However these feelings can turn in to PND or PNA so you're right to be concerned. Try to get plenty of exercise, step away from google, sleep as much as you're allowed to. And if you feel yourself getting worse then talk to the health visitor or GP.

Thank you so much for your reply @Wnikat
I’m starting to really wish the internet wasn’t a thing when it comes to newborns! It wasn’t when my parents became parents and I turned out just fine! Seems that there’s so much conflicting information out there that you just don’t know where to look really!
