Why can't I drive?

When I went to the Dr he said that I was not allowed to drive for 2 weeks after having my DD. Why is that? I should have asked when I was there. . .

Re: Why can't I drive?

I always wondered the same.........maybe it's their way of making sure you don't overdo it?

Re: Why can't I drive?

I think it's more that if you need to stop fast or something like that and you're sore? Not positive though. They told me not to drive with my first for two weeks (6 years ago), but they didn't say anything about it this time with my dd (9 months ago). I think it's more an old-school type of thing. The midwife told me to drive when I'm ready and I was driving in two days.

Re: Why can't I drive?

There's probably a few reasons...especially for c-sections. With either type of birth, you have lost some blood, undergone some trauma and a depletion of fluids. The possibility of adding massive injuries (say, from a serious wreck) could make usually bad injuries, fatal. Often, bad wrecks involve crushing parts of the pelvic region. Legs get pinned under the the steering column etc...so most likely, nothing happens from driving around per se. It's the prevention of the worst case scenario.

Re: Why can't I drive?

in the uk the only time after having a baby you can't drive is after a c section because insurance companies won't cover you having an accident after abdominal surgery for 6 weeks pp
