With my 2nd C section, I was able to do the washing and make dinner etc from day 6 (slowly of course, but still able to do it!).

The hardest part is getting out of yr bed and chair! oh, and pulling up yr knickers after a shower! Miss H helped me with that! hehe

Seriously, your dignity never comes back once having a baby!

As for driving a car, erm, I must admit to doing that after about 2 weeks! Would have been sooner if everyone wasn't so precious!
