Yes, a significant plot point in Shakespeare's play Macbeth revolves around this. Macbeth has been told that he cannot be killed "by one of woman born" but his enemy Macduff was delivered by C-section and was therefore not really "born" in the usual sense of the term.

C-sections in Shakespeare's day were invariably fatal for the mother.
