C Section Recovery

yes, it’s sounds like mine when it was infected. mine wasn’t hit just a bit of liquid, i’d get some antibiotics from the doctors. they gave me a 10 day course and it cleared it up. they didn’t even need to see mine as soon as i said on the phone what was happening they just prescribed me the tablets. you might be best to keep the gauze off to let air get to it x

I had this with my first and thought it was infected but it wasn’t. My doctor said so long as I felt alright, no fever etc then a small bit of weeping is normal. I’d check with the doctor to be safe though! Xx

I had this and mine wasn’t infected and is now fully healed. I did get it checked by a midwife when it was gaping and oozing though so definitely get it checked out. Mine would only ooze and hurt in the evening but it realllyyyy hurt when it was closing back up- almost the same pain as when I was freshly post op but this was 3 weeks later! Midwife said it was where I was overdoing it and ngl I was doing housework and hoovering, bending over etc. lol so took it easy after this and it closed and healed about a week later. Xx

The ends can often take longer to heal because that's where the knot in the suture is! Really common. As long as it's not hot, red, swollen I wouldn't worry and just keep it clean and dry

Mine was like this but in the middle. Better to get it looked at than not
