Maybe not strictly an AIBU but postjng for traffic a little..

I'm currently 39w and I've just failed my first driving test BlushSad

Not sure how to go about re-taking it. WIBU to restart lessons 4 weeks PP and book a test at 6 weeks PP? I'm worried about being deliriously tired and the logistics of leaving a tiny baby, hopefully I could express milk for DH to give?

You could book it and cancel nearer the time if you’re feeling very tired.

I wouldn't. Even if you could manage this for the duration of the test, you will also need lessons/practice between now and then. Give yourself a break to enjoy your baby.

Don’t be discouraged!!! Yes do book then you can ouch back the date a few times without penalty.
It took me ages to pass as a grown up - please do persevere 🤗

If you have a c section, you may not be able to drive by then.

I wouldn’t. What happens if you need a c-section? Is this your first baby? I would evaluate after you have had the baby and decide when to next take your test
