Blood on dressing?

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??

I’m 3 days PO x

It looks like old blood and its only a small amount? X

Hi Danielle, its normal, the nurse told me only to worry if you are changing pads too often, if its dried its old xx

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

Thanks girls! Feel better now 🙂 Phew!

this is definately norma especially so early on! i was still getting the odd dot of blood after my 7 day check up! its completely normal 🙂 i was like that though, worried me so much was calling the nurse everytime i found some haha x

I also had this on my dressing and it was fine :)xx

Thanks girls! My left incision is definitely more sore than the right. It’s also more tense than the right. Really hoping I feel better tomoro x
