I’m just over 2 weeks post c-section and the midwife had taken the dressing off and thought it was healing well on day 5. I’ve now been discharged from the midwives this week and noticed yesterday on my wound there is a small amount of redness near the middle, could be a little bit open and a small amount of fluid in that area. It’s not running or flowing out and when I dab it with a bit of kitchen towel there’s the smallest amount of liquid which doesn’t smell but is yellow. It doesn’t hurt, I don’t feel ill but I’m wondering if this is the early stage of an infection or is it normal at about 2.5 weeks post section to have this?
Although I have been washing it with just water as they said and patting it dry I don’t think I was letting it air enough so I don’t know if I just need to do that more or if I should just go and get it seen just in case and have it cleaned if needed.
