Simply put, a Traumatic C-Section is when a pregnant woman has her unborn child crudely ripped or cut from her body. If done well (being prone to Special Effect Failure), it can result in Grade A Nausea Fuel.
Contrast with Chest Burster, for when the offspring (or the equivalent of it) just violently comes out on its own, with no outside "assistance."
Often goes hand in hand with Eats Babies, for some reason. Clothes hangers and/or vacuum cleaners may or may not be involved.
Compare Imperiled in Pregnancy. A form of Womb Horror. See also Baby Be Mine, a possible motivation behind such a grisly action.
Historically most C-sections were performed after the mother had died in a last-ditch attempt to save the baby, resulting in a lot of overlap with Born from a Dead Woman.
For a somewhat less gruesome sister trope, see Forced Miscarriage.

In an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the Victim of the Week was a woman who was nearly killed when her husband cut her baby out, convinced that she was having an affair and that the child wasn't his. It was. And the baby died.

In Breaking Dawn, Edward rips open Bella's womb to retrieve their unborn child from her body with his teeth because both the nature of the pregnancy and the state of Bella's body didn't allow for any conventional birthing process to take place.

Us: One of the more disturbing parts of Red's Motive Rant mentions this. Due to her Psychic Link with Adelaide, she had to imitate all her actions and live out a shadow of her life, and thus got pregnant with her son Pluto at the same time Adelaide got pregnant with Jason. Jason had to be born via C-section, and thus, so did Pluto. But while Adelaide got a routine C-section done in a hospital by professionals, with the assistance of painkillers, Red had to rip Pluto out of her body in a dirty underground tunnel by herself, feeling every bit of it. She understandably considers this to be one of the worst moments of her generally miserable existence.

A Thousand Splendid Suns features a variation involving what should be a normal medical caesarean. When Laila gives birth to her second child, her baby is in the breach position and so she needs a C-section to save its life. Unfortunately, the women’s hospital has limited supplies and so they will have to do it without anaesthesia. Laila’s response? "Cut me open and give me my baby." Mariam is with her the whole time and thinks to herself how much she admires Laila for the amount of time that passes before she starts screaming in pain. Laila and the baby both survive.

Parodied in The Last Days of Foxhound when they flashed back to the Snake Eater example above. The Boss is completely unfazed about it, even saying 'hard part's over' when Ocelot is born. The baby's father, the Sorrow however is so traumatized by witnessing it that he ends up fainting.

A much milder example, in which the victim is a salmon, is mentioned in the Discworld novel Unseen Academicals. Still, it's only brought up for just how disturbing it was for young Vetinari to see all those cute little otter cubs eating all those little salmon eggs...

Metamor City: this happens to Abbey Preston, by her abusive boyfriend. While she survives, she is extremely traumatised for years afterwards, especially as Sasha is killed at the same time. It gets worse - see, she's psychic, and it's hereditary, and she had even held simple conversations with her child in the womb. When her child died, she heard her scream.

During a test screening of the My Bloody Valentine 3D, a viewer asked if it was Megan's unborn child and not her heart that the miner cut out since the camera doesn't linger on what was ripped out for very long. It was her heart, and director Patrick Lussier mentions how squicked out he was by the baby assumption in the film's commentary.

Farscape. When Living Ship Moya gives birth to a Leviathan gunship, its weaponry gets this smaller Leviathan stuck in Moya's birth canal, so it has to fire its main gun on a low-intensity setting to break free. Though the main drama is that Chiana is trying to assist the birth and has to Outrun the Fireball from this so-called "low" setting.

In the Mass Effect's fic Crucible, this was done to Amata, the wife of Gaius, Garrus and Shepard's son from the Bad Future. Amata was still alive when her stomach was cut open and her daughter was ripped out of it, still kicking and screaming before the quarians shot the mother in the head (they also killed her son before that). After that, the baby was taken to a lab to be experimented on. Judging from hundreds of dead Hybrid babies' bodies being tested, cut apart and preserved in that place, Amata was not the first or only victim.

An incident from the childhood of Prince Joffrey in A Song of Ice and Fire is alluded to in Cersei's chapters which provides some early warning signs of his later psychopathy — while the details are sketchy, it's implied that he found a pregnant cat and cut her open to see what the kittens looked like.
Historically, when Queen Alyssa Velaryon was pregnant with her second child by Rogar Baratheon, she was already 47. Something went wrong during the pregnancy and she went into labor a month early. She gave permission for the maester to cut her open to save her baby, who survived (but she didn't).

The Bible: It is mentioned, specifically in the prophetic books of the Old Testament, and is involved with conflicts involving pagan nations. The Assyrians (one of the most brutal and most effective armies of the ancient Middle East) are mentioned as doing this among other grisly practices. Even at the time, a woman having her baby torn from her womb was considered the worst calamity to happen to a nation at war, but nowadays it is considered a war crime of complete sociopathy.

born of hell('s kitchen) has the caesarean happening in a hospital, that's the circumstances that are traumatizing, as Kilgrave uses his Mind Manipulation power to force the surgery on Jessica and making her waive her parental rights off immediately afterwards, without even letting her hold or see the baby.

On Game of Thrones, this happens during the Red Wedding. Robb Stark decided to Marry for Love instead of marrying one of Lord Frey's daughters. So the first person to be killed as revenge was his pregnant wife Talissa, who was stabbed right through her womb.
More directly childbirth-related, the first episode of House of the Dragon has a Sadistic Choice for King Viserys Targaryen: if the maesters don't intervene, both his wife Queen Aemma and their baby will die. Intervening would mean a C-section (while she's conscious) after which she will bleed to death — an even worse death than the one she'd have if they do nothing — but it could save the baby. He orders them to do it out of the need for an heir to the kingdom. His wife's belly is cut open (the scene is quite gruesome) to take the baby out, and she dies... and then it was All for Nothing in the end, as the baby dies too anyway a few hours after the birth.
In the sixth episode, Viserys's brother Prince Daemon is given the same choice with regards to his wife Laena and their child, but he's just shaken his head when they notice Laena has gotten up and gone outside to command her dragon to spare her the agony by immolating her.

A Spider-Man storyline involved the Venom symbiote being captured by a survivalist group, which forcibly extracted five "seeds" from it to create five new symbiotes for their super soldier project.

During the making of the original Dawn of the Dead (1978), a pregnant extra suggested her character should be shown having her baby ripped out by the zombies. Director George A. Romero and SFX guru Tom Savini gave a resounding "No. Just… No" Reaction.

Earth's Children: In The Valley of Horses, Jetamio dies in labor due to complications, after which the shaman cuts her open in a desperate attempt to save her unborn child. Sadly the baby dies too, leaving Jetamio's mate and the father of the child devastated. It's a terrible situation for everyone else involved too, though Thonolan takes it especially hard.

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, The Boss, during the invasion of Normandy, went into labor. Naturally, being in the middle of a war zone without access to a proper medical facility, drastic measures needed to be taken. The most badass thing of all is that she performed the C-section on herself. Out pops baby Revolver Ocelot, in the middle of a battle.

There's an extremely graphic video on YouTube of a Komodo dragon eating a pregnant deer alive. Eventually, the lizard tears into the doe's abdominal cavity and pulls out its unborn fawn, swallowing it whole, and then resumes eating the mother (which still isn't dead yet).

Doc Robbins on CSI got the rare-for-an-M.E. chance to save a life when he realized that a teenage girl who'd hanged herself just minutes before he and Nick arrived on-scene still had a living fetus inside her. A hasty C-section with improvised tools saved the baby, and the team tracked down the ex-boyfriend, who had no idea the girl had been pregnant when they broke up but is still willing to be a father to their daughter.

Silent Witness: In "Undertone", it is revealed that a murdered woman was heavily pregnant when she died and the killer performed a crude C-section with a kitchen knife to remove the baby (she was already dead or at least unconscious at the time, but everyone is still horrified). Much of the story revolves around the team trying to find the missing baby as well as locate the killer.

ER:
The episode "Love's Labor Lost" culminated in a horrifying emergency C-section. One TV critic says it changed how she thought about her body and life in general.
Another episode has Kerry Weaver doing one of these in an ambulance that has crashed due to a torrential rainstorm. In this case, though, Kerry a) genuinely had no other option and b) acted quickly and excellently enough that both mother and baby made it through without major complications.

Puppet Combo's Bloodwash features a Serial Killer known as the Womb Ripper who does exactly what his name says to women. The ending reveals that the killer was in fact a missing woman thought to be one of the Ripper's victims. She was having an affair with a man and when she got pregnant, he tried to kill her. The woman survived but her baby didn't, and it made her snap and kill women who had what she didn't.

Invoked but ultimately averted in the opening scene of Shoot 'Em Up. Smith follows a thug who is chasing after a heavily pregnant woman, which said thug is attempting to kill. The thug whips out a knife and threatens to rip the baby out of the woman's stomach, but Smith arrives and kills the man before he can do so.

Arguably the most infamous scene in The Anthropophagus Beast is Nikos ripping out a baby, and eating it in front of its dying mother. It's even worse in The Remake, due to the baby obviously being alive when Nikos takes a bite out of its head.
