Perhaps she meant unscheduled cesearean, rather than emergency? I know most
people probably use those two terms interchangably, although technically

As far as the hospital is concerned, if it's not
scheduled, it's emergent. If it's a big emergency,
it's a crash c-section. They mostly care about how it
impacts their bed scheduling ;-)
