Brief Answer:
Fatigue.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It looks like you are having chronic fatigue due to lack of sleep.
I would suggest you try getting more sleep, drink lots of water around 3 lts per day.
Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and dried fruits such as dates.
I have viewed the attached images and your BP is normal but slightly on the lower side.
I would suggest you drink lemon juice with a pinch of salt.
There is nothing to worry, a newborn can be stressful.
Get as much as sleep possible, deep breathing exercises and keep yourself hydrated.
In case it still persists after 2 or 3 months it is best to meet your gynecologist or physician for a detailed examination and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
