I'm not sure what doctor recommendation was, but I was driving the day after I left the hospital. 4 days after?

Another thing to consider is the pain medication you are on. Some pain medication comes with "no driving" instructions. I chose not to take pain medication so this wasn't a concern for me.

I drove 4 weeks after my section...but checked with my insurance company beforehand (they actually didn't care, but I thought that i'd better do it).

Check with your insurance company. Some do have clause in place regarding driving after major surgery and require an OK from the Dr. Without this you may not be covered in the event of an accident.
