You shouldn’t continue your normal activities until your doctor clears you at your 6 week/postpartum appt. if your clear to drive then 6 weeks. As far as driving many people did it sooner. I personally would wait the 6 weeks bcuz I don’t like taking any chances. My doctor told me to wait to be safe. I had a normal vaginal delivery. 💎
If you have a c-section then later because you have an incision in your stomach but vaginal delivery you’re good to do everything you did before, just have to take things slower. But driving isn’t physically demanding so it’s not a big deal
I would get dizzy after driving when they told me not to so thats why I called my doctor and was like so I didn’t listen and heres what happened😂😂😂 and they told me not to until my check up. I drove after delivery at some point to check out “black friday” at Walmart and it was a huge mistake lmfao almost fainted on that floor😂😂 and once i walked into the store I wasn’t even walking i sat down in the cart that moves so I wouldn’t have to walk. I was literally in and out within ten minutes. Lol. Every OB is different and every person is different but for my last one I was like ok maybe not😂😂😂😂😂😂 no matter how hard i tried i felt like shit every time lol. If your guna drive just be careful then.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to drive... If your not on meds or exhausted I don't see an issue
