@laura I really wouldn’t worry about that. Seeing blood on your dressings is very normal. The only time I’d start to worry is if it ends up soaked and starts to flow, then you’d need to be ringing your nurse xx

Laura I’m the same.

And my pain has been pretty serious, especially in my left boob.

I didn’t realise how painful it would be because my friends had a really easy healing process.

I asked about twinges and they’re good news, it means that the feeling is coming back, the nerves are stretching and mending.

My stitches burn and shoot like mad, straight up to my nipple but the doctor said it’s completely normal whilst you’re healing.

I agree with Katie, your wounds are locked up nice and safe with the tape so there’s nothing getting in to cause infection.

I panic a lot about thes things but not many people get infections and it’s usually after the wounds are exposed xxxxx

Laura its really hard to know it mine looks the same.

If we were strapped up like others we wouldn’t be able to see them and we wouldn’t be worrying.

I’m so happy the first couple of days are over xx

Mine were alot worse than yours Laura and I was was worried about infection also but like the above lady said aslong as it it’s pouring out and saturated it’s fine and also keep those strips on theyll keep any bacteria put of your incisions x
