If it was in the last couple of days, it's not abnormal. Just take it easy and lie as still as you can. Relax.

I've had my tubes tied - the incision was only 1/2" long - bleeding like constant ooz is really not normal from a post-op site. If the drainage you are seeing is a "transparent" red color, that could be very different and not such a big deal - but should not last long (called serous drainage)
If you are coughing much, you could also be stressing that area - if this is a problem, you can splint your abdomen with a pillow.
Keep your incision line as clean as you can - take care.

I'm a nurse. Yes that is normal. Now if it is a large amount call the doctor. This could only happen if you injured it in any way. I wouldn't worry though, some blood is perfectly fine. Be sure to follow all the aftercare advice from your doctor. I had the same surgery years ago, and it works like a charm. Take care.

NO!! Perhaps some of the stitches used to tie deeper layers have let go. I would go to the ER. Really. You don't want to risk internal bleeding or infection by having an open wound. If you are not fond of this idea, at least call your family doc and ask him/her what you should do.
