Really 6 weeks till I can drive after Caesarean?

[Me+him+bub]

i was studying full time over an hour away and drove to my uni classes 5 days after mine, it wasn't comfortable but not painful, its up to you! I would just check your
policy for car insurance.

I waited the 6 weeks coz it was made clear to me even if I felt fine it was major surgery & if you do damage its so much worse. My GP told me at 3 weeks your something like 15% healed but by 6 weeks you're closer to 50% healed. Also no mopping, vacuuming or anything that twists for 3 months & no heavy lifting for at least 6 months (not sure if you knew this).

Wow oops - I've been doing everything including heavy lifting from about 2.5 weeks when DH went back to work...

Yeah that's what I was told. I know its a complete pain in the ass. I was so lucky to have DF home for the first few weeks then my mum flew over from Perth to stay with me for the next few weeks. I don't know how you are supposed to cope if you don't have someone to help out.
