Would you report SIL who is driving 2 weeks after c-section?

[mrbloomrocks]

She has not been signed off to drive by the GP, she reckons it was more strain on her scar to walk everywhere . That's not the point though is it? Her insurance wouldn't be valid, if she has an accident she could tear her stitches?

Who would I report it to anyway? The local police?

[queenofdrama]

Yanbu. Your sil is a selfish bitch.

[OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly]

is she? whys that then?

[queenofdrama]

Why are so many babies born via c-section nowadays anyway? Have womenkind forgotten how to give birth?

[StephenFrySaidSo]

far too obvious queen. try harder.

[pumpkinsweetie]

Confused as to why this is an issue and i wonder what business is it of yours whether she drives, walks or cartwheels around town...

[Pachacuti]

[queenofdrama]

Cos she could potentially cause an accident? Innocent lives at risk?

[HoopersGinger]

YABU. BAYOG?

[prettyfiestyforasmallone]

I drove 6 days after cs. I rang insurance company who asked if I could do an emergency stop. .. I confirmed I wasn't very good at doing them before cs :)) (ive crashed a few times. .. im a rubbish driver :) they didn't even mention asking gp and said it was fine.

[queenofdrama]

Ha ha ha. I can give birth naturally with a NO pain relief or intervention. Just like the zillion mothers before me. Ain't I smart?

[noblegiraffe]

How the fuck did she clean her house the day after a c-section? I had a great recovery and I was still cautious about even sneezing the next day.

[AnaisB]

Well done queen, and just to think you life is now at risk cos a lazy c- section mother is driving. Better stay at home and protect those genes.

[queenofdrama]

Yep, I better. Too many loons with fresh, deep 5 inch abdominal scars about.

[RawCoconutMacaroon]

I was signed off as fit to drive by doc 9 days after my section (left hospital after 30hrs, no pain killers after first 2 days).

Some people heal faster, some people might have had a lot less bruising due to a skilled surgeon... There are many variables.

[LoopThePoop]

There is no signed off.
You can't BE signed off.
You can drive yourself home from hospital UNLESS it has been mentioned in your records you can not drive for some reason

[notanyanymore]

Queen HAHAHA you didn't need a c-section to save the lives of you and your baby. How hilarious! Me and dd were right shitters to have required one not to die! Funny funny funny! If your so interested in survival of the fittest why are you breeding?

[eatriskier]

Damn you pachacuti

I did a full week's shopping 4 days after my first c sec. Prescription pain relief is a wondrous thing...

[KatyPutTheCuttleOn]

My GP said that it was up the individual to take personal responsibility and that they would not say yes or no and that people had to make their own decision whether or not it was safe. He suggested going with what the insurance company said - which was if the GP said no then I wasn't covered. As the GP said it didn't make much difference what he said, the insurance company would try and wriggle out of paying anyway!

[KatyPutTheCuttleOn]

wiggles isn't it driving without insurance? Or is just having an uninsured car that is an offence?

[pigletmania]

Oh thats god she has your permission then! The 6 week rule probably applies to her straining the scar area and healing, not her ability to drive safely! Yabvu and not very nice!

[echt]

How would the danger of bursting stitches as a driver making an emergency stop be any different from being the passenger?

[VisualiseAHorse]

Echt, you have a very good point.

[eatriskier]

echt I think its because you can hold your belt into an "under the bump" position as a passenger which you can't as a driver. I'm sure the issue isn't the direct outer popping of stitching but inner stitching popping.
