Irrational fear of being hated by my baby

Before giving birth I never thought I would love my baby - he is just another stranger to me. I even hoped baby loves dad more so dad would have to do everything so I can rest. But after giving birth I have this irrational jealousy towards everyone hogging my baby, and jealousy towards anyone baby laughs and smiles to, especially if baby didn't smile as much with me. Now I even fear that what if my baby grows up to hate me because I nag at him a lot or if I am a bad parent. What should I do...

Ahhh mummy i was in your same exact position when i gave birth🥹🥹 thought i was the only one. But dont worry mummy!! Baby will never forget who his mummy is. Based on experience. I barely took care of my baby for the first 2 months cs i was in so much pain from csect. But now at 3months, my baby would always smile at me and looks happy etc baby will never hate anyone, unless they abuse baby. Dont worry too much itll be fine one day
