In general, the benefits related with the caesarean operation outweigh the risks involved with the surgical operation of caesarean operation. Yet, irrespective of all technical advantages and development, the natural normal births are always more advantageous for both mother and the child without any doubt being raised about it.

Operation of Caesarean is a major surgery and with all the medical and technological improvements, there are some risks involved with the surgery. Normal estimations suggests that after a normal birth, the risk of death is less than one in ten thousand women.

Irrespective of all these risks involved, if the surgeon and attendants take proper care and adopt all precautions during the surgical operation, the caesarean operation can be completed with relatively much higher safety than any other surgical operation. Yet, in spite of all precautions, the time of delivery is increased and furthermore, the recovery time of the mother is also prolonged than a normal delivery.

Some of the major concerns for mothers going through caesarean surgery are maternal death, heavy blood loss, infection, nausea, and vomiting, severe headache after the delivery, as well as blood clot in a vein.
