C-Section moms...

When were you cleared to drive?

I'm almost certain my ob said after 2 weeks.  I know I could call, but I have an appt today and was going to drive myself. 

Humor me.  =)

  • Mine says two to three weeks.

  • I think it's 2 weeks and when you aren't taking drugs anymore. ?At my two week check, my dr asked if I drove myself. ?I didn't because I couldn't remember what the rule was from DD, but he said I was fine to drive.
  • She told me a week.  At 8 days PP, I took a 7 hour car trip.
  • Mine said two weeks.  I did break the rules and drive downtown after the first week.  I had to get some paperwork signed for my mat leave and I did not want to haul Will around with me.  (My mom was staying with us.)

    You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
  • Mine just told me to weeks. You're two weeks one day? I would probably drive myself.

    Congrats on your little one too!

  • 2 weeks.

    But I waited longer than that. I didn't feel up to hauling DS and the baby carrier around that soon.

  • my doc said as soon as I wasn't taking the pain pills.  I drove about a week after I delivered..it was only a day or two after I got home from the hospital because I needed something at Target.
  • Mine said once I was no longer taking the Percoset, I stopped taking it about a week after the c-sect, but I didn't drive for 2 weeks.
  • 2 weeks or once I stopped the Percocet.  I drove to my 2wk appt.
