Postnatal anxiety

I'm not sure where exactly to post but thought this might be a good start.

I have an 11 week old ds and have recently started to feel a bit low, I know this is normal but over the past few days I've been feeling extremely anxious that he's ill or going to get ill. We are away abroad on holiday with friends and my DH keeps telling me to 'relax' and smile, but I just feel more on edge that he's able to let his hair down and I'm being the 'grown up'. I haven't told him how I'm feeling. I know relationally that he's just enjoying the holiday. Some rooms have aircon and others dont, I worried ds is too hot, or too cold at night, and I have to continually check on the him or take his temperature (as it kept reading low but i realised i was using it wrong). And one of the other children is ill and I keep thinking 'what if he catches it', I honestly just want to go home. I keep feeling sick, teary and shakey. Ds seems fine, but it's like I'm waiting for the inevitable. My friends wants to go out tonight for drinks and leave the kids with our DHs but it makes me feel unbelievably anxious. I'm not normally like this so and really struggling to see sense.
