    I would say no. Is it warm and hard to the touch?! I would call the doc right away just to have him check it. In the mean time you should ge a hot compress and put it on.

    Not normal. I would call your ob's office as soon as they open. I had a little oozing but it was when my staples first came out (1 week pp).

    Go in.  A week after my section, my incision started draining pretty ferociously (brown/red slime).  I called L&D and they told me to go to the ER.  The draining slowed down, so I debated going it, but went anyway.

    The doctor drained it manually.  There was a whole pile of guck in there.

    They will probably give you antibiotics...which, if you are BFing...will be difficult (baby screamed) so, just figure out a way to time them properly.

    Go in...you don't want to be out of commission for any longer then absolutely necessary.

    Mine was still oozing, but it wasn't an infection, I had a seroma. It had to be packed everyday for a week to soak everything up until it closed again. Definitely call.

    I had oozing and bleeding until 6 weeks PP. I had it checked a couple of times and was told it wasnt infected. If it is it will smell bad and the area around it will be bright red. I would have it checked though (don't just talk to them on the phone) - I didn't think it looked right and was persistent. Fortunately in my case I was just a slow healer and all was ok.
