redness and pain around c-section

I am 5 weeks pp and my incision has started to get red and hurt again. Is this normal or should i call my dr?

Re: redness and pain around c-section

  • Might just be normal healing, but when in doubt, call. Especially if any discharge, bleeding, swelling, or fevers.

  • Any odor or puss? Mine was/is sore, but no redness or swelling. 5 weeks pp is kinda a long time post surgery for it to be getting red again. I'm 4 weeks and I can't even see my scar!
  • I'm a little over two weeks past my c section and I'm not hurting at all. Check for signs of infection and bring it up to your OB
  • I would call your dr. I'm almost 3 weeks post partum and I got an infection in my incision after 2 weeks which my obgyn said was pretty unusual. It was painful, red, and even started bleeding
