C-sections: Is it common to have the incision glued shut?

I had an EMCS last year and was amazed afterwards that they'd glued my wound closed instead of stapling or sewing it. Is that common? I didn't even have a bandage!

I'm planning an ELCS this time round so I'm wondering if I'm likely to have the same experience (which was really positive).

There will have been plenty of stitches on the inside, the glue is just on the surface instead of a dressing!
