Hi Em, I have gone through your question. Headache in post delivery period can be due to altered sleep cycle with waking up with baby at odd hours, decreased water intake or any other neurological cause. Numbness and hypersensitivity to touch can be due to vitamin B12 deficiency which is common in pregnancy and post- delivery period.
I would suggest you to consult a neurologist, take plenty of fluids, take rest whenever baby sleeps, and take multivitamins.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
