Very recently, a literature review including 30,000,000 women indicated the risks of complications associated with cesarean delivery and future pregnancies. According to the report, the frequency of miscarriage and stillbirth on a later pregnancy is higher for women who underwent cesarean delivery previously. Other reported complications were placental abruption, placenta previa and placenta accrete.
