I had staples that were removed also, and the day after I got home, I woke up to the sheets soaking wet where my incision was. It was leaking fluid...they made me come in ASAP...it was a sign of it becoming infected. Yours sounds infected already. Don't be alarmed, but you need to call your doctor immediately. They can take care of it in the office, but it's quite serious.
Most likely they will wash it out with saline, and pack your wound with sterile gauze. You'll actually have less pressure there once they do that. They may prescribe you some antibiotics as well.

It was about a week or so after mine and some of my strips were coming off and oozing a little. The nurse at my ob said that a little oozing was ok and not to worry if the strips start coming off. But I would say still check. Maybe just give them a call if there is no other sygns except the pus.

Congrats on your twins :)) Sounds like you have a slight infection.
You should go to your GP, who will check it out and most probable give you some antibiotics to take.
Best get this seen to soon as you don't want your scar to get completely infected.
P.S. it's very common for a small infection to appear.
Good luck to you and your new additions xoxo

instead of asking on here,
you should probabply be on the phone with your doctor.
sounds like you have an infection. puss out of any type of wound is a sign of infection. other signs are swelling, red. warmth to the touch and pain.
you really need to contact your doctor!

i am a wound care nurse and you really need to call your gyno, there should be no drainage from an incision that is 2 weeks old, unless there is an infection. your incision should be healing well at 2 weeks
