I am 9 days post c section. I had my staples out yesterday and now today I noticed a little swelling right above the incision. There is also some pain there as well. Should I call my doctor or does anyone think it's just from having the staples removed?

Re: Swelling
If you are concerned, you can call the nurse. I had stitches and my incision came back open a little at home so I called. The nurse told me to be on the watch for infection symptoms: Leaking pus, red, warm to the touch, fever. If I have those to call back.
I think it sounds normal to have a little swelling, especially if just got the staples out.
