Have any c section moms out there experienced some drainage on their incision?

I had a c section 9 days ago and noticed today in the shower that the left side of my incision had one spot that was leaking a light pinkish fluid (sorry to be gross). It is also a little red at the beginning (inch, inch & a half) of my incision. I called my doctor and am still waiting for a nurse to call back. Just didnt know if anyone has experienced something like this before or if it's normal.

    I did with my daughter and it turned out to be fine. They will probably have you come in to have it checked though.

    Thanks for the response. I went to the doctor this morning and had to get some steri strips to hold the incision together better where.it was draining. I was put on antibiotics too for now until the culture comes back. Hopefully that does the trick :)
