Hey all,
I'm now 20 days pp - the small girl child and I are getting to know each other, so far I've learned that she is a delight, except in the wee small hours when she is a shouty little beasty.
I've been pretty worried about the section incision, I've shown it to every medical
professional who'll have a look (4 midwives and a doctor in the last 20 days) all during legitimate visits, don't worry I'm not pillaging NHS resources.
It's gone through a few phases, including a slightly weepy phase, everyone who's seen it says it looks good. But today I can see there are a couple of little openings on the right hand side and they are weeping a bit more, and the fluid is a bit bloody.
It smells a bit gross (not poisonous, just a bit bloody, like AF or lochia), but it doesn't hurt.
I am washing it once daily with very mild soap, drying a few times a day and spraying with diluted tea tree oil when the wound feels right and sore (not specific to this area).
Our frenemy friend Dr Google suggests all is fine... Does anyone have any experience of the same?
Thanks in advance!!
