See your doctor: Disturbing thoughts like these are not normal and can be signs of severe post-partum depression or psychosis. You should talk to your partner or a close family member or call your doctor to discuss these feelings before you take any actions. If you feel that you're not in control and may hurt yourself or the baby, you need to call your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room right away.

Seek treatment: It is unclear if this is a distressing, obsessive thought you are having or psychotic symptom or what. This needs to be assessed immediately and likely the quickest way would be to go to your nearest hospital emergency room.
