I expect because, while it's possible to not drive for a month, it's not

possible to not be a passenger for a month. If no other reason, you're
probably going to have a follow-up appointment for you and the baby within
that time, have to come back and get the staples out, etc. I can think of

6
times at least I had to be in the car going somewhere the first month

after
coming home from the hospital-including several within the first week.


Not being a passenger just doesn't seem POSSIBLE to me. I mean, you hve to
get home from the hosiptal, right?

I see people mention 'having the staples out' after a c-section all the time
on this group, and I'm so confused about it because I had two c-sections,
and I never had staples...both times I had stitches that were
self-dissolving. Whats the difference?


Staples are used just like sutures, to close the incision.
The difference being, the staples have to be removed once the incision
is healing up, and the dissolvable sutures (which are also used on the
fascia (deep inner layer), don't.
