CS incision question

maddie80

I had a repeat CS 9 days ago. Things went pretty smoothly. 5 days ago, I had steri strips put on. They have almost completely fallen off the right side of my incision,which is still pretty sore. It definitely doesn't appear to be open to me, but it is oozing a tiny bit of discharge and occasionally a tiny drop of blood. Is this normal? I don't want to ignore it if it needs attention, but I don't want to drag the whole family out if it's not necessary.

My doc told me if my incision had any oozing or blood to call right away.

This!

That's what I figured. I wonder if I should call today (I'm on kaiser, I know they'd just send me to urgent care or er, and I wouldn't even get to talk to an ob) or if I should call first thing tomorrow.

If it were me I'd probably call in the morning but only you know how bad it is so you have to make that decision. Are you keeping a pad over it so it's not getting rubbed?
