Blood on dressings help please

I’m 10 post op and so far so good with my healing.
I had my one week check on Monday and the nurse said that everything was looking great. I had my dressings taken off and steri strips put on my incisions with small dressings over the top.
Initially I had a little bit of blood on one of my dressings before I had them changed, but that was just one day post op and nothing more after that.
I’ve just looked at my new dressings and there’s a small amount of blood that has just appeared on both incisions.
I’m really worried that I’ve done myself some damage 🙁 ive got no pain at all and have been doing a little bit of reaching up today (only a small amount!) Im not taking any painkillers and because it’s not hurting me I felt ok? I’ve literally reached up to hang up some clothes in my wardrobe and hung my dressing gown up and that’s all! Nothing major..
Any help/advice really appreciated, I’m really worried 🙁 xx

Hey chick nothing to worry about unless it’s full of blood you need to take care chick u will be fine xx

Hey Alex, thanks for the reply.
No it’s just a dot of blood on one and then a line almost the length of my incision on the other? It’s not leaked through onto my bra or anything it’s literally just under the dressing… I’m just worried because I’ve had no blood at all since day one PO and I’m just scared that I’ve ripped my stitches 🙁 do you think its most likely to have just opened up a bit? Xx

Somtimes they do split if you take look at my pic af 3rd op 3 weeks ago mine stiches bust but there was nothing to worry about and took care of them cleaned them up and surgeon told there was nothing to worry about xx

Ah thank you, I’ve requested you but don’t think you’ve accepted so I can’t see your pics! xx
