I had a csection 5 weeks ago and I thought
my incision was pretty much healed, but
now it is bleeding on one side. Is this
normal and what should I do??

Sorry. I was trying to ask a doctor. But
any comments are welcome.
Go to your doctor! If my be an infection
of maybe you were doing too much and it
pulled.

I had a c-section 9 weeks ago and at about
2 weeks, my incision got irritated (stuck
to my underwear--ew!) and I kept putting
polysporin on it. It got better and then
at about 7 weeks the same thing happened
again in the same spot! Always on the
left side. This time it wasn't as bad and
again I put polysporin on it and it got
better. I think maybe there's a stitch
under the skin that was just irritated. I
think your probably ok but if you are
really concerned, ask your doctor.

She shouldnt have stitches left after 5
weeks.
She needs to go to the doctor. Thats not
normal. Sounds like she over exerted
herself a little. Nothing to be overly
concerned about, but concerned enough to
go to the doctor.

Thanks! I have been over doing it a bit.
It seems to have stopped since I haven't
been carrying anything too heavy. It was
only on the right side, in the corner. It
isn't red or doesn't look infected at all.
I called the Dr. And left a message, but
haven't gotten a call back yet. I have my
6 week postpartum visit next week, so I
will ask then. Thanks to all !!!

I would advise you to take it easy and
continue to wash the area with mild soap
and water, and put some gauze there to
help. Also I would def. Try to get
intouch with the doctors office they are
going to prob. Tell you that it is ok and
it is healing fine. That is what mine
told me anyways, but it is better to be
safe then sorry. You def. Dont want to
cause yourself to get a hernia or anything
like that. Good luck to you and let us
know the outcome
