I am 6 day pp and I already feel like I’m getting really anxious about everything, mostly surrounding my baby.

I feel like I can’t leave him, not even downstairs with someone I trust to go upstairs for a nap, I need to be able to see people with him, not because I don’t trust them but I just feel like I have to watch them, even my mum.

I had a difficult birth, a failed induction, which led to a c section, as my sons heart rate dropped a bit and then had some difficulties breathing when he was born so I do get anxious surrounding him.

I’m really worried that I’m going to develop ppd with the way I’m feeling right now

I had an emergency c section last Sunday, healing has been going pretty well and I have been moving about a bit, not too much though.

Yesterday I had a very noticeable burning pain but only specifically when I was moving so for example I was trying to turn over in bed.

I got some more of this pain today but even worse as it’s across nearly the whole scar.

Is this a normal part of the healing process? It doesn’t feel like the kind of burning you’d expect from an infection but obviously I’m still cautious, it was when I was getting up out of bed.

I’m also getting my dressing taken off tomorrow
