Is it safe to travel after a c-section?

I had a cs when I was giving birth to my son and after two weeks I could do anything. I would suggest you to check out with your doctor though, most of the time it all depends on how fast you heal.

Ask your doctor, to make sure the safety. They know better than other here, but yes maybe there are other who have tried it. But every people reacts in every situation. Other c-section can walk already and looks like nothing to them, others also having difficulties. So better to ask your doctor. Gudluck!

You had better discuss this with your obstetrician. It will depend greatly on how quickly you heal after the operation. I know that, when you have had a c-section, you are not allowed to drive or to lift anything heavier than a kettle for six seeks after the operation. Provided that you have someone with you to carry all your baggage (and the baby), it MAY be acceptable but if your doctor says 'no' and will not issue a certificate that you are safe to fly, you had better accept that absolutely because the airline would have to accept some responsibility in issuing you with a ticket and could not do so without a certificate from your doctor.

A c-section is a major operation. One of my friends had a c-section and she was told not to drive for eight weeks after her baby was born. There are stitches and these would trouble the lady if these came loose. The problem with driving would be wearing a seat belt and on a plane a person must wear a seat belt too. If would suggest you ask a consultant or a doctor how soon after your c-section you would be able to fly. I know that most airlines day the baby has to be seven days old or more. Therefore a lady having a natural birth could fly one week after having her baby born. You need to check your travel insurance details to see if it would cover you traveling so soon after your c-section.
