Hi girls

Im 4 weeks 4 days post section and am driving myself mad having to rely on people to take me places. Its not so bad if its nice weather but feel stuck when its raining. Anyway just wondering how early you started driving again after section insurance says im covered aslong as i have had clear from docs but dont want to go just incase they say no til 6 weeks and ive wasted my time

Thanks X

Can you do an emergency stop? i saw my doc at 4 weeks as felt fine he asked me to do plant my foot hard on the floor asked if it hurt which it didnt so said i could drive.

Def worth going, im sure they will say yes its fine and then you will be insured.

Hey !!
Ive just started driving again today he he !! yayy ... I did wait 6 weeks
your probably fine to drive but its other people who may cause u to do an emergency stop or worse have a bump...

you may find that if you drive you might end up going out alot and not having the rest you need to recover from the operation...
I am a very outdoors person and really really struggled the last week not driving, but its better to be on the safe side.

however im quite lucky as where i live is very close to the town and a few parks (to take my dog out)
there no harm in asking the Doctors though!

hope you manage to find things to do without a car x

My doctor said it was ok to drive 2 weeks after section providing that I felt ok in doing so and would be able to do emergency stop. It was a telephone appointment so don't know whether it would have been different had I seen a doctor. The insurance company said it was fine as long as doctor said it was ok.

Didn't start driving until about 4 weeks after though as didn't feel ready, so hopefully you should be ok!!
