C-section drainage?

Elizabeth

I had my c-section on the 12th and 2 days ago I noticed one of my stitches leaking fluid. It looks like watery blood. I called my OB about it and he said that it was normal and to just put some gauze it to keep it dry until it heals. It doesn’t have a smell and the color is lighter than blood. Has anyone else experience this? And how long did it take to stop? I will say that I retained a lot of fluid from my delivery and my legs and feet are still recovering from the swelling.
