Leaking from c-section incision 6 weeks postpartum?

So, a bit of background information . This was my second c-section and my first, I had an infection and the wound was packed until I could ooze no more so I'm new to the healing naturally aspect of it . Anyways, my son is 6 weeks today and otherwise, I have felt amazing . No fever, no pain and I even seem to be walking the way I did before I was pregnant lol . I don't cover it with gauze or anything ( haven't at all ) because a large part of why an infection occured with my first was because it was covered from the moment it was stapled up . Since my staples were taken out ( first few when baby was 5 days old, the rest when he was 9 days old ) , I've had leakage from my incision . I'm not talking a large amount of fluid, it's just a bit on my the top seam of my underwear everyday, not enough that I have to change and it's of the same consistency of water, and white to beige-yellow in color . As I said, there is no pain, and no fever . I guess my question in the end is if anyone else went through something similar and if it was in fact normal ? Since it's not causing me pain, I don't plan on calling my doctor up, I'm going to wait until my son's 2 month appointment and ask them to check it out, just looking for some piece of mind . Thank you in advance !

    I would definaltly call the dr. to ease your mind. they have on call staff. honestly they will tell you to probably go to the ER. you dont want have the infection spread, because you could end up in the hospital instead of with your new baby at home. Congrats!
