Answer 1

Nothing, it’s a surgery, a body gets cut and loses some blood, like with any other surgery. A surgeon’s team’s professionalism stops a woman from losing a critical amount of blood.

But in general, woman’s body increasea the amount of blood during the pregnancy, so it has some extra blood to loose. Natural birth can be even more bloody than the c-section. And both ways, women bleed in about 6 weeks after the childbirth.
