Incision still leaking some fluid at 5+ weeks?

Under.the.Rose · June 2012

Just wondering if it's normal for there to still be some slight fluid coming from the incision? Last time my incision was all closed up and dry at 2 weeks out...

It's hardly any and it's pretty clear (hint of yellow and a little blood) coming from the one slightly open area. The skin around it isn't red/inflamed.

Other than cleaning it and putting Ploysporin on it, is there anything else I can do to promote healing?

I'd call your doc, if I were you. It's not normal for the incision to be open at all that long after the procedure.

I agree with PP, get it checked with your Dr. Anything coming from your incision at this point is not normal.

Ask your dr. for prescription powder (like baby powder). It's AWESOME, and helps heal things so fast. I don't know why they don't give it to all c-section mamas.
