It got pretty bad very quickly after that and i needed antibiotics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589277 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:20:59 +0000 Happygal 589277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not wait until Monday. If it is an infection, those things can go from bad to worse quickly.</p> <p>Not trying to be an alarmist, but you'll feel better knowing what is going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589219 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:04:59 +0000 loveisstrange 589219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Call! A friend of mine had an infection and she had to have her incision opened back up again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589211 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:01:01 +0000 keiki_mama 589211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get it checked out ASAP! A lady I knew had a daughter in law whose incision became infected and had to stay in the hospital for a week because the area was not draining properly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589198 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:48:06 +0000 MamaMoose 589198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put some bacitracin or something similar on it and then check with your doc. Better to be safe than sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589162 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:53:05 +0000 travelgirl1 589162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: @scg00387: Thanks ladies!

It was healing SO well until now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589048 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:09:07 +0000 immabeetoo 589048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go to the Ob!! Better safe than sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589041 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 14:02:30 +0000 PrincessBaby 589041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm....I don't want to be an alarmist, but the only person I know that ever had a Csection incision infection got put in the hospital for it, but I'm sure it had to be something much more horrendous than what you're describing...I would DEFINITELY call your dr on Mon about it just to be safe! My friend that had the infection swears it was terrible and she scared me half to death of getting a Csection! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infected-c-section-scar-gross-but-anyone-know-what-to-do#post-589035 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:56:22 +0000 travelgirl1 589035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday there was a purple looking bump in the centre of the incision that looked like the work of an ingrowing hair but I just took a shower (yeah I know it's past 1pm, ha) and it was bleeding! It looks pretty purple and gross in that one place.Any idea what I should put on it? Sorry if that totally put you off your lunch!Oh I'm 15 weeks pp. </p>
