I'm just over 2 weeks postpartum, the blood is significantly less than it was now but today I noticed that it's smell was awful.

Has anyone else had this? I shower/bath every day but my god the smell of the blood was rancid. I'm so embarrassed.
I hope no one else could smell itBlushBlushBlush

Yes get seen asap, infection is likely if it smells bad. Call 111. Don't wait or take chances

I would say it's likely an infection, I remember that well from stitches from being cut.
I'm due in 6 weeks for the second time and absolutely past myself with fear. Please remind me that it's not that bad and you forget the pain
