C-sections are common surgical procedures performed during the delivery of a baby. C-sections, also known as cesarean sections, require a surgical incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus to safely deliver the baby. While c-sections are generally a safe procedure, they do come with more risks than a natural vaginal birth, and can come with complications as well. C-sections are often either performed in a response to an emergency problem that arises in order to ensure the baby is born safely, or they can be scheduled in advance due to various reasons.

Can they do anything about it?
Hi Fati. Periods tend to change after having a baby. They can become heavier than normal and eventually they will go back to what they used to be, maybe. However, if you want your period to be less you could consider a form of hormonal birth control. Some of them have reported lighter and shorter periods, with some reporting periods stopping completely. However, if you are concerned, you can make an appointment just to get checked out.
