    I had exactly the same at about 3-4 weeks – if there’s a slight opening in your stitches fluid will come out. It’s totally normal but go see your nurse and she will dress it again for you, you’re best to cover it over because it’s a potential site for infection to get in. I just put a clean dry dressing on myself until I could see the nurse xx
