Intrusive thoughts

I keep having very intrusive thoughts when my baby cries. She was crying earlier and out of nowhere I just thought about covering her mouth or hurting her to make her stop. I 100% would absolutely never do that or hurt her, but I've been getting these thoughts often and it's starting to worry me. I am 7 weeks postpartum. Is this normal or do I need to talk to someone?
