Please call 111, you may need some emergency help and tell them your are 5 days post partum . It's not serious if treated quickly so Don't delay

May be a blood clot

Ring 111 and get seen sooner

Before you freak out, it could also just be low iron after blood loss. I had this, iron tabs sorted me out. Do ring 111 tho just to be on safe side.
