I've heard c-section is necessary if the baby isn't in the correct position after a certain time, it seems a bit ridiculous to me but I don't know shit so I wanted to clear that up. Also why do they do them more than a week before the due date?

Birth by c-section (literally caesarian section) has been done in ancient times. Performed properly, even without anesthetic or disinfectant, the survival rates are very high.

I recommend doing everything possible not to have one though.

There's one exception -- if the birth canal does not expand wide enough and it is taking too long, you might want to do it.

Remember that the vast majority of people born throughout time never had a doctor attending to them. They may have had a mid-wife, who was just a person to reassure the mother and provide blankets and towels. It's not uncommon to hear of women giving birth all by themselves. The woman's body can do seemingly miraculous things right before birth.
