Thanks Emma xxx

I was driving on about day 4 I think, was very careful though and it was difficult to reverse and look over my shoulder, also was difficult to put into reverse gear! I think by about a week it was so much easier though x

I did after abot ten days I think...However I have an automatic car...just guide it!!! I would think when you feel comfortable after a week should be o.k. xx

I drove after 3 weeks but this was mainly due to not being able to pick my baby up to get her in and out of car seat, which was a real pain, i found changing gears was the only thing that pulled on my chest but was still ok, i was told i could drive to see the nurse at 10 days post op:)

I drove after a week and just found it a little awkward to look right out of the back window whilst reversing. All definitely ok after 2 weeks for me.
