Abstract

A standardized form was completed for each mother, collecting past and present obstetric history and demographic characteristics.Results: 66.5% of mothers delivered by CESAREAN SECTION and 33.5% vaginally. 72% of cesareans were elective and of these 22% were performed because of MATERNAL REQUEST and 71% of mothers who requested cesarean had no explanations for their request. Also 65% of doctors suggested cesarean for their patients without any true medical indications. The majority of elective CESAREAN SECTION on MATERNAL REQUEST were performed in private hospitals (86% in private VS. 14% in state hospitals, P<0.0001. The level of education employment status and first pregnancy were significantly related to the request for performing elective CESAREAN SECTION.Conclusion: To decrease the frequency of unnecessary CESAREAN SECTION and their unwanted complications, there is need to increase women's awareness.
