Apparently there are rare cases when the problem is only discovered when it is too late for a Caesarian. But the movie was made long before some of the modern technology which could perhaps give the doctors the information in time.

Julius Caesar was not born by caesarian section. The name "Caesar" was a cognomen used by a branch of the Julii long before he was born. If the first one to get the cognoment was born by caesarian section, it was long before the famous Julius Caesar.

In that case, I think you may want to continue this conversation with the original poster. Correction: I SUGGEST you continue this conversation with the original poster. Correction: Why are you persuing this conversation with me instead of the original poster?

It is never too late to do a Caesarian section, since the origin of the procedure was to remove a baby from a dead mother, and an abortion would never be a safer option for the mother.

Also, whether it actually happened or not, the origin of term does come from the belief that Julius Caesar was born by Caesarian section.
