I had my baby on the 27th of december by c section , i was induced because she was 10 days over due !! ummm about a week after having her my incision opened up , i had what you call a hematoma , there was a bump below my belly button and i was concerned about it and asked the nurse when i was at the hospital but everyone said its just swelling and said nothing about a hematoma , i was also going to an iv clinic 3 times a day for 3 days for an infection !!! well it stopped bleeding after a couple weeks and now its red around the incision , i did call my doctor but the nurse said to just wait until my post pardon appt on the 18th , and only call back if i have a fever !!! also my period is really heavy and lots of clotting , well the clots are big and small , not overly huge but big enough to freak me out !!! I stopped bleeding though for about 3 days ( it was a brownish color) and then it went to back being really heavy and dark red so is that normal !!!

I would definitely try to see someone, don't take no for an answer! You've had a lot to deal with so even if it is nothing and it's fine, it's better to get it checked out.
