Trip to the ER

kenziebug22 · August 2014

6 weeks PP as of today and i'm now sitting in the ER because my c section incision is infected.

This was noticeable in just a few hours time, how is this possible? I haven't have any problems this whole time and when i'm supposed to be good to go NOW i get an infection, wtf!?

Ladies keep an eye on things, when you think it has been long enough and you're good to go, you never know.

Hope you feel better soon! What were your symptoms? I had some issues with mine but I'm still keeping an eye on it, only 4week pp so now I'm kind of freaked that your 6w and it's infected

I noticed mine (4 weeks on Sunday) early this week had some discharge. Called the OB and have been watching it like a hawk!

@littlemissmarla‌ the past couple of days i just felt crappy but didn't think much of it and last night i noticed the incision was a little more red than it has been, but no pain or fever. Tonight i went to the bathroom and i looked down and noticed it was really red and puffy in one spot and when i touched it some puss came out (ew)

The dr said it wasn't bad that i caught it early and is giving me a script for an antibiotic and i have to follow up with my OB next week to make sure its getting better.

I had the glue stuff during surgery but he said the stitches inside that are made to dissolve over time is coming up to the surface and it made an abscess thing (thats causing the puss, i didn't even know that could happen lol)

And not to freak you out but he said it was good i caught it early because if it was bad enough they might'vehad to reopen it and clean it out, also something i never cconsidered, my heart stopped! Thank god that wasn't necessary, so if you think something's up get it checked out sooner rather than later.

Sorry for the novel

@susanskowera‌ keep an eye on things! Glad i posted so you guys have a heads up it can happen any time

Mine recommended peroxide for a few days. Its gotten better, still a little discharge, but very minimal.

Thanks for the info! I had read some stories about people who had to have it opened again! Horrible! Glad you caught it early! Keep us posted!

@susanskowera‌ that's a good idea glad its minimal

@littlemissmarla‌ i think i would've died if they had to ahh, just the thought of me makes me cringe! I'll post an update when the meds start kicking in
