The most common complications from c section births is the risk of infection during and after birth. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics for those who have this surgery to reduce the risk to infection, which may limit the breastfeeding ability of any woman. In addition, other problems associated with c sections include excessive bleeding and the right of blood clots. There are rare complications including damage to the bladder and/or other organs. In most instances, it is considered a safe procedure, though it does result in a longer recovery time over a vaginal delivery.
