The signs and symptoms to watch for after a cesarean birth are feelings of pelvic fullness, frequency, urgency or burning on urination, and redness or edema of the abdominal incision. Mild incisional pain is expected and the lochia should change from a bright red (rubra) to a pinkish color (serosa).
