I've been wondering the same thing! LO is two weeks today - I just want to be able to go to the store instead of having others do it for me...

I started driving about 5 days after she was born (a day after I got out of the hospital)...

DD is my 2nd c-section and both times my OB said no driving for 2 weeks!

I let DH drive for the first 2 weeks, but could have driven sooner

My discharge papers said 1-2 weeks. I wasn't on pain meds when I left the hospital so I drove after 1 week.

This. I didn't take any pain pills after I left the hospital.

I was told not to for 2 weeks.  Like others I didn't take pain meds during the day so I drove after a week.
