I'm a little concerned because my c-section scar has a noticeable odor and they used glue to seal it. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about a trip to the ER?

A mild odor and redness after a C-section are common, but a strong, foul smell or increased redness, swelling, and discharge may indicate infection; the glue used to close the incision is usually a normal part of the healing process; however, if you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: increased pain, fever over 100.4F, or pus-like discharge.

I'm wondering what the early pregnancy symptoms are, like ten days after having sex but before a missed period. What should I be looking out for?

In early pregnancy, around 10 days after intercourse, some women may experience mild symptoms such as implantation bleeding, light cramping, breast tenderness, and fatigue. These symptoms can vary and are often similar to those seen before a missed period, so a pregnancy test after a missed period is the most reliable way to confirm pregnancy.
