A member asked:
Is it normal to bleed a little from a c-section incision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A small amount of drainage after a cesarean section is normal, however if the drainage looks like pus, has a foul odor , or if the incision is surrounded by a red 'halo', have it looked at asap. The typical drainage is pink and watery.
