You can't give blood if you have received a blood transfusion before 1980 due to the blood having possibly being contaminated with BSE before this date.
Having a Caesarean does not stop you from giving blood, only if you had a transfusion during it. Some people do and some don't, it depends. I had a Caesarean but did not need a transfusion so I would still be able to give blood.
