I was at my obstet yesterday and mentioned it to him... and he said "you could have driven, probably from 2 weeks". And I'm with RACV (victoria) and they said that I could have driven.

I think the huge walks to the shops did me more damage than driving would have! My incision would ache after the walks!

It was only my step-mum and relies that had caesars years ago that were telling me "6 weeks". They had the old style c/s with external stitches etc. Maybe things have changed with improved surgery techniques. I was up and out of be within 12 hours of surgery. I never even needed pain relief.
