I’ll be a week postpartum tomorrow and for some reason, even though this is my third baby, I’m scared about everything. Not so much with baby himself, he’s perfect! But my health. Every little ache and pain, I wonder if it’s normal? For some reason this time around being told about blood clots developing in the legs has terrified me and I feel like it’s going to happen to me. Maybe it’s just because I had to get induced so I feel like I’m out of control even still... but I get so anxious I start crying thinking I’m going to have a clot or my bleeding isn’t normal and I’m going to die. 😭 just wondering if anyone else is feeling or felt this way? I did talk to my regular doctor at babies one week check up. She of course told me it was normal and when I come back next week if I’m still struggling then we can talk about meds. Thought about calling my OB and asking if x,y and z is normal but I know if they say it is it still won’t ease my mind or I’ll tell them like my knees hurt and they’ll say something is wrong. I just feel crazy at the moment! Even though I was induced everything went smooth with no tearing and baby was picture perfect healthy and we were both perfect in the hospital. I try to tell myself if everything was good in the hospital I’m probably in the clear.. but it really doesn’t ease my mind. 🤔

Sorry for the long post! Just needed to get it off my chest!
