Ok I’m probably being completely melodramatic but I’ve for 2 spots of blood (not much at all and it’s dark) come through my dressing on my left boob. This is the side that I’m getting the most pain from. Is it normal to have blood on your dressing??? Sorry, I’m being a drama queen I know but better to check with you guys I thought!!

How many days PO are you? Might be worth contacting your nurse to see what she says??

Hi Danielle, I wouldn’t panic it’s perfectly normal in the first few days. I’d just keep an eye on it and if it gets any more than a few drops give your nurse a call xxx
