Pain after labor?

Question

I have some really important appts this month and baby is due any day.  How painful is a car ride after labor by a few days?  Like if I had someone else driving me and needed to do an hour appt would I be miserable?  Is it feasible because these are mandatory appts for my future

Answer

It doesn't hurt with a vaginal birth but with a csec birth if u get one I'm not sure

Answer

With a vaginal birth, a lot will depend on if you tear and how badly - you can not control much of that. I had a mild second degree tear and didn’t want to sit or be in a car for at least a week ... walking was difficult as well.

Answer

I drove the day after having my first and a few days after having my second I drove 45mins away. And with my second I drove home from the hospital(we live 5-7mins away and hubby doesnt have a license) Its kinda uncomfortable but I didn't think it was too bad honestly. If you dont want to drive see if someone else can.(if that's an option)

Answer

Vaginal or c-sec? I had vaginal but the hospital didn't let me go until 5 nights later. I had an episiotomy with vacuum birth and was able to walk normally and have no pain when sitting.
