C Section Infection - Help Needed!

Jules • 👨‍👩‍👧🇬🇧

Hi Ladies

I’m 15 days post emergency c section, which was an awful experience in itself!

My incision site was fine until a few days ago when it started causing me a lot of pain (stinging/throbbing), constantly leaking a thin pale yellow liquid and reddened; there is also an unravelled dissolvable stitch present.

I’ve been to my GP who prescribed antibiotics and have been advised to rest and clean and air dry the area as much as possible.

Given the traumatic birth I’ve just experienced, I’m so frightened of developing another serious condition ie of death or infertility (silly I know but I just can’t take anymore), so really I’m just looking for reassurance and first hand accounts from those who have been unfortunate enough to experience this.

TIA ❤️
