Summary
The childbirth experience is considered one of the most important and unique event in women’s life. A caesarean section (CS) is a life-saving surgical procedure when it is medically justified and it can effectively prevent maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity (Hannah et al, 2001, Zwelling, 2008). CS becomes increasingly the procedure of choice in high risk pregnancies to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. This has become possible due to improved patient care, availability of effective antibiotics, blood transfusion services, safer anaesthesia, improved surgical technique and sophisticated neonatal care services even in rural areas (Joshi et al, 2017). The present study aimed to determine the rate of CS and to detect the medical and non-medical reasons behind the CS. Regarding the non-medical reasons 75% of the mothers reported fear of vaginal delivery as the main reason.
