Moms have separation anxiety?!?

Do moms also suffer separation anxiety or is it just me? We’re coming up onto two months after my morning star was born and I read that babies have separation anxiety during the first few months of life and don’t realize they are their own person until 6 months. Babies will tend to want to sleep with their moms and be close to them as much as possible, from what I’ve seen so far, this is true. However, I noticed the same effect in me as well. When Lucifer is in his bassinet, sleeping or just wiggling around during his active times, I can't seem to focus on my chores, games, or whatever hobby I may be attempting while he's in a calm state. I find myself consistently checking on him or trying to figure out a way I can involve him somehow in these activities. I've tried to sleep without him in my arms a few times and find myself unable to settle down, mentally begging him to need me. I'm not sure if it's the fact I'm a new mom or the fact that I just simply have my own fear about what kind of mom I am to my darling boy, but either way I believe it's a form of separation anxiety much like the baby experiences for the first few months, I mean think about the similarities and the things moms and babies have in common right off of the bat. Both you and baby have been inseparable for 9 whole months. You felt baby grow inside of you and felt the smallest kicks along with the big ones. When you were hungry, baby was as you rode along with pickles and ice cream, providing baby with the food they want but can't eat quite yet. You've had a literal living being with you when you went to the store, doctor, bed and everything else in between. Is it not natural to also have separation anxiety, much like your baby? Is it natural to want to sleep with him every night but also not at the same time because you want to snuggle your partner as well? Is it natural to consistently check on your baby even though he's fine, you just checked a couple of minutes ago, but you just have to check again just to make sure? Is it natural to wrap your whole existence around one little person but at the same time still crave your independence and space? I don't know the answers to these questions, I don't even know if this feeling inside me is individual or common. What I do know is my desire to know that my light is safe. I'm also actively making it harder for both of us when we do have to eventually separate from each other and I don't know how to stop it, nor do I truly want to.
