    From the very little I know, the fear is retained placenta, PPH or sepsis because of this succenturiate lobe. This may explain the surgical birth as the doctor may wish to manually remove the placenta to ensure all parts are safely removed. However the premature caesarean does not make any sense to me, I wonder if her placenta is blocking her cervix? Hopefully a midwife will come along and be able to help more.

    Traveller is correct. The main concern would be PPH caused by a retained placenta. There is also a higher chance of placenta previa.
