For those who have also had a c-section, question:
I had my baby 1 week 5 days ago, and just noticed today a spot of dried blood (in between the size of a quarter and dime) along the incision line (not the whole thing, just a spot on the right side).
I was stupid earlier and lifted DS2 when I shouldn't have (he's 20 plus pounds, I'm not sure if it's from that or just in general). I am in no pain, no fever, the whole area is still feels tender and a little achy...I called the OB on call, and she said to take a shower and see if it came back.
A few hours after my shower I checked it and the spot had come back, not any bigger or smaller than before. So now, I am of course freaking out....anyway, the point of my question is:
for those who had had c-sections, did you have any tiny spot of blood a week or two after c-section? My husband think it's normal and recalls having a tiny bit of blood along incsion line with DS1, but I don't recall that at all. He thinks I need to calm down and just to keep my eye on it. I plan to keep my eye on it, but I can't stop freaking out about it....I just wanted to see if this was somewhat 'normal'.
I really don't to go to the ER for a small spot of bleeding, but yet this is really on my mind.
