Scar leaking
Hi
I had my little boy 17 days ago emergency c-section
Over the weekend i have noticed that my scar has started leaking it started at one side first yellow pus and is inflammed and today it has opened up a little at the other side the same thing. Is it normal for the scar to do this.?I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so she will have a look at it i think i may need antibiotics if its infected. Wonder if i have been doing too much or its just happened,
Thanks

I also had my baby by c-section 17 days ago!!
Mine however was planned and not an emergency.
It defintely sounds like you have an infection, your mw should be able to sort you out antibiotics.
My scar got infected last weekend and it was down to me doing far too much. i have been on antibiotics now for nearly a week and feel a lot better. But i have also had to try and slow down a bit.
I hope you get it sorted and it starts to clear up. i have also got dressings covering my scar now as i was so worried about the infection getting worse.
congratulations to both of u

Sorry for sounding gross. I've had 3 section prior and I didn't notice any pus or blood or even any smell coming from it.
I started bending to pick up things before I reached 2 weeks. Could I have caused it to open? I have a 11, 8, 3 year old and a newborn. Most of the time my fianc?? is on the road. Maybe I pushed myself to hard without even knowing.
What do you think?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you are all doing well.
