Constant state of anxiety

I’m a FTM to a two week old baby girl and I am constantly anxious that there is something wrong with her. I am googling absolutely everything which I know isn’t the best idea. I cannot seem to get myself out of this constant state of panic, it’s making me so emotional and exhausted.

Hi hun, you’re not alone. hang in there 🩷 I’m in the same boat, my baby is nearly 2 weeks old now and I’m driving myself insane googling everything and checking his breathing 24/7. It’s physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting but I’ve heard from other mums that it will get better and easier in time. I don’t have any advice as I’m feeling exactly the same way, but I want you to know you’re not alone in feeling this way. Let’s just take one day at a time and I’m sure it will get easier. You’re doing amazing xx

Hang tight lovely and remember you’re doing amazing and this is completely normal! It is exhausting worrying so much but you’re not alone. I’m told it gets better but I’m still worrying and little girl is almost 3 weeks I think we just need to hold on

I’m the exact same. My Google search history is all sorts of questions. You’ve got this. We’ve got this. Your anxieties show that you’re a great mum!! Xxx

I was like this consistently and my little boy is just over 3 weeks now and it’s just that little bit easier. It doesn’t fade, you’ll always worry about your babies forever now but it does get easier! Xxxx

the exact same❤️ you’re not alone x

I’m the exact same! I’m only on day 3 and can’t sleep when she sleeps as I’m constantly worrying! I’ve realised today though our gut feeling is always right and if you’re really worried about something skip google and call your midwives - mine have been absolutely amazing in calming me x

I have been exactly this way!! I’m Four weeks in now and it’s still there, but lesser, hang in there & don’t beat yourself up for it. It’s soooo normal. Never googled so much in my life. This app is great for reassurance & others dealing with the same stuff tho 💕🥰

Yep , me too. You’re not alone in feeling like this x

I was like this with my first. Had a full blown postpartum anxiety. So much more relaxed with my second and actually able to enjoy motherhood more (even though it’s harder with two!) Newborns are a lot more robust than I realised.
