Mamas please help!!!
So, i just had my C-section a few days ago... mind you i'm a big girl and have a flab on top of where my incision is. It's been 5 days now and i noticed that my incision is slightly oozing some smelly liquid. It smells like a bad rotten sweat!!! Also, it has some pulsing achs from the inside!!! I know that if i call the nurse they'll just tell me to go in. If i can get any answers here that would be great... if not then my last resort will be to call my Dr.

You need to go in ASAP, it could be infected.

I agree with @csavvy, I had a c section 6 weeks ago and this was one of my warning signs to go in immediately

Sounds like it’s infected. That’s how mine started when I got an infection.

It could be infection... or you could just not be keeping it dry enough. Are there still steristrips on it? That can also make an awful smell and sometimes make it look like it's oozing when it's not. If there isn't steel strips and you're sure you have been keeping it dry though I'd go in. I'm a pretty big girl and I didn't have any problems with odor or oozing under my belly flap where my incision was. I wore a maxi pad on my incision to keep it dry though.

Clean it with water. I had that problem and I'm a big girl. Also use a blow dryer to dry it.

@csavvy @mommy2babygirl @_ejx2 @wheelercharle4 @taylorsmommy1017 @mamabear33016 @roguemommyofjx3 Thanks ladies... it sounds like maybe it could be due to me not keeping it dry enough. Im so afraid but thanks to all of you ladies who took the time to help answer me.

@bbyzvcy18 well if the steri strips already smell bad they will probably smell until they fall off, if just get as clean and dry as possible and then stick the absorbent part of the maxi pad to it and just check to see if it looks like it's oozing still tomorrow. They'll take the strips off if you go to the doctor though and then you will know for sure. You will be absolutely miserable if you let an infection go.

my dr have me a cloth to keep in the flap so it would heal or a folded panty liner

I agree with the girls go and get checked. I always wore high cotton panties to absorb moisture. I would alway shower daily and pat dry then I went over it with a rubbing alcohol rinse and pat dried again.
