How long can i resume driving after a c-section?

Question

Hi i end up getting a c-section on april 16 with my first.I was wondering how long does it take for you c-section moms to resume driving?

Answer

I was told 2 weeks after my c section

Answer

I went to see my doctor 3weeks later who confirmed I was fit to drive

Answer

I actually drove three days afterwards. Not by choice...

Answer

I was told you have to wait until 6 week check up then the doctor needs to give you the all clear and you have to be fit enough to perform an emergency stop... I've got my appointment in a weeks time I'm hoping he ok's me as I really miss driving!!

Answer

My doctor said as soon as I was off the narcotic pain killers (I had complications and a lot of pain so took Oxycodone for two weeks and then Vicodin for another), and as soon as I could hop on one foot with no pain, I could start driving. The idea behind hopping on one foot is that it's similar to performing an emergency stop. I've been driving since about 4.5 weeks after my c section.

Answer

I heard 4-6 weeks but at end of day when you can react quickly with out it hurting
