C-Section problems is this normal???

Question

I had a c section 6 weeks ago. My incision is still healing and slightly red. I go through my day taking care of my newborn and by night when it’s time to settle down I start to feel out of sorts. Slight headache and so I take my temperature and it’s 99.1 and tonight it’s 99.4. I do notice I have slight pain every once in awhile around my incision. I’m worried I might have some sort of infection that may not even be related to my incision but I really am not sure what to do. I attached a pic but it’s not a video.

Answer

I’d say your incision looks fine, but I’m not a doctor. You could have an infection developing somewhere else though. I’d just give your doctor a call to be sure :)

Answer

Go to the doctor red usually means Infection

Answer

Do you have an overhang of belly skin? 
You can develop a yeast infection if it doesn't stay dry enough and it's a burning painful feeling.

Answer

I would call your doctor.

Answer

pinkish is normal but if it’s reddish or pinkish and it’s warm to the touch that’s a sign of infection. You can call your OB if you have concerns about your incision anytime. I saw mine 3 times after I had my son because I was so paranoid. 
Better be safer than sorry. My cousin let her infection go until it was so bad they had to cut her back open, drain all the pus and infection out and then pack the wound for the next 10 weeks and a home health care nurse came over for the first 5 weeks to change the internal dressings.
