This is not normal. I had the same problem. I did not have quite the amount of drainage as you but my incision opened up. My obgyn sent me to Tissue Trauma who packed my wound and closed it up within 2 weeks. I also developed an infection. So bad that my next c-section was horrifying internally for my doctor. Most infections that develop are what they call cellulitis. IT is a SCARY infection if not taken care of. I had adheasons so terribly bad which was caused by the infection. And my internal organs attatched themselves to my uterus thru the adheasons caused by the cellulitis infection.

I would be very persistant in getting this taken care of. If your incision is closed, Try laying on your back, pour hydrogen peroxide over your incision and either blowdrying it or patting it dry. Use gauze and tape it or tuck it in the crease where your incision is. Do this twice a day. after your shower is good. The secret is keeping it dry. IT is a very moist area especially if you have extra skin lying over the incision. FOUL SMELL is not normal. A little drainage is normal, but not a lot.

I hope this helps.

Also there are two types of infections the air and the moisture. Two different infections Need two different antibiotics.
