B’chor is b’chor. B’chor PETTER RECHEM needs a pidyon, whereas a C-Section b’chor does not. But he was still born the ben hab’chor. If there are 7 children and he is the eldest, the Yerusha would likely be divided 8 ways, and he would receive two shares. Double doesn’t mean twice as much as ALL of them put together, or half the worth of the estate. He just gets twice what his normal share should have been had he not been a b’chor. At least that is how it was told to me in Yeshivah. Sure hope I don’t have egg all over my face right now, for being misinformed…
