I needed to get out on my own, I was going stir-crazy. I also felt pain until 5 weeks though. This time, I'll probably drive again after 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-after-a-cesarean#post-64026 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:19:28 +0000 MegWag 64026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They told us at our birthing class the other night that- here in the UK- you're legally not allowed to drive for 6 weeks after a c-section! Crazy, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-after-a-cesarean#post-63974 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:07:43 +0000 Sha 63974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think my ob told me not to drive for a few weeks, but i had to start at about 2 weeks out. i tried to keep it to just short distances and easy drives though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/driving-after-a-cesarean#post-63973 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:06:48 +0000 autumnlove 63973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did it take you to drive a car after having a Cesarean? </p>
