- Damage to other organs in the abdomen
- Longer hospital stay and recovery time
- Bad reactions to anesthesia
- Risk of additional surgeries, including hysterectomy, bladder repair, or repeat C-sections with future pregnancies.

Cesarean birth also has risks for babies. Babies born prematurely have more risks. The risk of death for premature babies delivered by elective C-section is very small. The risk of death for premature babies born vaginally is even smaller.
