What Causes High Bp After Delivery?

I recently had a baby via csection 16 days ago and my blood pressure has been at 114/86 for the past 6 days. I have home healthcare nurses coming to my home to pack my incision that is healing slowly. I have never had high blood pressure in my life and I am wondering if it could be from the anxiety of my open incision?
