How long did you wait to drive after your c section?

  • i waited ten days and then only short journeys for another week x
  • 4weeks
  • My stepmother waited about two days and my daughter's godmother waited about five days.
  • 2 weeks, and then only short journeys for a while!
  • Two weeks and short trips 4 awhile after that
  • You're supposed to wait 4 weeks. Going around turns etc tighten & hurt the muscles they just sliced open. Plus, if you were to be in a wreck it could do a lot of damage. I waited the 4 weeks, but as long as you are comfortable & not hurting, it would probably be okay. Just be careful
  • Im from uk and here were told to wait 6weeks! i waited just over 4 and cldnt stand not being able to drive n e more!
  • I waited 2 Weeks, that's what doc recommended
  • My husband was deployed and i was alone so.i could only wait about a week
  • My doctor said two weeks with both of my csections and I waited the full two weeks both times. I didn't want to risk having to get more stitches or having a longer recovery time.
