Seroma: 24 yo woman status post C-section postop day 3 with a small fluid collection in wound. You probably have a small seroma at your incision site. Make a call to you OB/GYN and let them know as soon as possible. They will need to examine you to make sure your wound healing progresses nicely and that you don't develop a postop infection. Best of luck to you and your new family member.
