C-Section Mamas

Potential infection??

Sorry for the TMI ladies.

I’m 6 and a half weeks PP and had sex on Saturday with my partner following GP’s approval. I felt up to it at the time and had no issues during however now I’m working myself up into a tizz around potential symptoms that may or may not be related. A bit of b/g context:

•Delivered via emergency C Section
•Got a wound infection 7 days PP
•Treated with antibiotics, however became reinfected and required 2x more antibiotics, most recently an antibiotic cream.
•Due to infection my scar opened and created around a 2cm hole
•Hole is still present on the exterior however appears to be healing well and knitting together.

I now have some very very light blood within some discharge, there is no unpleasant smell with this, just some showings of blood. On top of this I have burning in my thigh muscles but I’m unsure as to whether that was from the sex as it had been around 4 months since we last had it due to me having severe SPD towards the end of my pregnancy. I also think my lower abdomen has become slightly hard now which is a new thing. I’m not having “pains” as such, however would say I’m having some twinges (however have been for around 2 weeks).

I had sepsis in my last pregnancy and I’m incredibly paranoid about getting it again. I am overly anxious however don’t know if I’m missing something sinister here

TIA
