Dealing with anxiety

#1stimemom what can I do to deal with the anxiety? I keep questioning everything I do, whether it's safe or not or whether I'm overdoing it. I just want to relax and enjoy the process, but can't help it. #pleasehelp

Anxiety is perfectly normal, especially for a first time mum.
