Drive

4-6 weeks you must be able to turn in your seat wear your seat belt comfortably and perform an emergency stop safely without pain xx

ive been driving since i got home from the hospital 🫣. never had any pain or uncomfortableness.

They say once you can emergency stop comfortably but check with your insurance as some have clauses that mean no driving for x amount of time

Remember it’s not just about you, it’s safety of others on the road and your baby if they’re in the car too. X

They don’t recommend it for the first 6 weeks at least I think, but it’s all up to you and how you’re feeling, I had to drive 4 weeks pp to get to the gp and felt some pains after (the gp is only like a 10 minute drive one way) but i had a lot of complications with my wound which may have been why. Start with little drives, helps if you have an automatic (i do not) and if your car isn’t very low down for you to have to try and climb in and out of it!
Just be careful and don’t push it try little drives at a time x

My boy was a NICU baby, so I was driving day 4 if my husband couldn’t take me. But I was also able to check my windows and have something on me so my seatbelt didn’t sit uncomfortably on my incision

I drove after 2 weeks but only short distances. Check with your insurer and you have to be able to person an emergency stop safely without any discomfort

6 weeks is the minimum, or if you are signed off by the doctors - otherwise you invalidate your insurance!

I will check with insurance. I will great i could run a marathon tbh 😅 i will do small distances for now and see how it goes . For the emergency stop i don’t get it if you are a passenger and the driver does one its the same no ? Lol

I drove 2 weeks after my emergency c section. But I’d wait longer if you can. Most insurers will say you can drive as long as you can do an emergency stop wnd drive without any pain.

6 weeks or when you can do an emergency stop xxx

I felt fine at 3 weeks and drove and opened up my incision and got an infection.
I’m 6 weeks now and I could be driving but I’ve set back my recovery.

So I’d just say be careful, waiting 2-3 more weeks is better than going at it too early and delaying recovery even more
