cesarean/c-section

What's the most used between them in everyday life? Thanks

C-section est plus courant. En fait je doute que la plupart de la population sache que le 'c' veut dire césarienne.

And if Cesarian is used, people would more often just say "I had a Cesarian". Google finds that to be quite common.

I think that in Britain the usage must be different. Caesarian or Caesarian section (note the spelling) are commonly used; I'd never heard of C-section before today.

Ce n'est pas seulement les British. En Australie aussi on dit "Caesarian" (tout court - on ne dit pas "She had a Caesarian section").
Ceci dit, je comprends "C-section".

Yup, people in Canada know what "a Caesarian" is (and I would spell it that way too).

"C-section" is used here, but certainly not exclusively.
