I'm a 32 year old mommy of 3 - a

Saw my PS on Tuesday, no seroma! He said it was completely normal and that I would be swollen for weeks, months, up to a year, when the lymphatic system is fully reconnected. That was nice to know. I finally turned the corner pain wise yesterday. I was starting to wonder if the BB redo was going to stop hurting so bad, was still taking pain medicine. Today I have only taken Ibuprofen! I'm still needing to rest a lot and when I'm up too much I swell and the BB 'leaks' fluid. No school for 4 days for the kiddos. I'm planning on taking pictures in the AM, since we won't be having the morning school rush.

Question for all you veteran MM ladies.... I had my belly button re-do 6 days ago. I really haven't had any drainage from it, maybe a small spot of blood on the bandage. Last night there were a few drops of ooze coming out of it. Today it oozed quite a bit. It's like a clear, but red tinted liquid. Not a ton, but enough to soak a bandaid or two. Its not painful or red. Im still very swollen, but its going down slowly. Is this normal? Did any of you experience this?
