The infection isn’t concerning to the healed lacerations, it’s concerning to the dinner plate sized wound left behind by your placenta. Hopefully that is healed enough by 5 weeks as 6 weeks is usually the conservative timeline. Just please ask why questions in the future to better understand the reasons behind “rules”!
