If you had a C-section, your doctor likely created an incision across your lower abdomen (near your bikini line). This incision will remain slightly raised, puffy, and pink or reddish, but this will go down over time as your scar flattens and heals It is normal to experience mild swelling and pain near your incision site as your body works to heal itself.
You may notice some clear fluid seeping out of the wound at first, but blood or pus (usually yellow or green) may be a sign of an infection or problem with the healing process. You may notice these symptoms within a few days of your surgery or several weeks after giving birth, so keep a watchful eye. If you notice anything abnormal, speak to your healthcare provider.
