A member asked:

Is it normal for your c-section incision to weep?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes no: A small clear crust is expected. Clean wound 2-4 times a day to remove dried up crust (a potential nidus for infection). If drain is pus (thick or creamy ) or redness around scar is expanding and with pain, then is not normal.

Initially yes.: After the first 1-2 days it is not normal and merits medical attention.
