Anxiety

I had my c section 10 days ago and was discharged with baby after 3 nights. Since then I have had real anxiety about baby. I was sleep deprived initially. I was averaging 2 hours sleep from 2 days before section due to waters breaking for about 1 week. My sleep deprivation caused confusion and hallucinations but I have caught up now.

Since then though I have this real urge to return to hospital. I hated being there so I don’t know why I’m desperate to return. Maybe it’s because I feel baby is in safer hands or there is more support. A few days after discharge he had issues with Jaundice and high red blood cells. He went in for tests but wasn’t admitted. Given baby’s age now I wouldn’t even be readmitted if he had an issue and would need to go to a&e if there was a problem. I don’t know why I feel like this and am so desperate to return. I have started sertraline but that will take a short while to kick in. Has anyone else felt like this before?
