In the past when there was no surgery and anaesthesia how the children were delivered in case of caesarean section.

In the past, vaginal delivery was the only option. If there were labor complications, the doctor or midwife would try every trick and technique they knew to try to get the baby out safely, but at times even these methods would fail and the baby (and possibly the mother too) would die.

cesaereans didnt' exist before surgery.
in situations that warrant a c-section these days, if the babies were to be delivered at all, it was very risky and the mortality rate was high. vaginal delivery was the only option.
even the early days of surgery, it was done only as a last resort since it was so risky (infections, anesthesia, etc)

Either the child's head was crushed and they delivered vaginally, or a c-section was performed and the mother (usually) died.

They weren't. Before surgery, mothers and babies died if the baby couldn't be delivered vaginally.

Most of the time these women died during childbirth.

I would think they would get drunk! I wouldn't want to feel that with no anesthesia!
