Maternal demand for cesarean section: perception and willingness to request by Nigerian antenatal clients

Abstract: BackgroundContrary to the widely reported aversion to cesarean section in the West African subregion, maternal demand for cesarean section (MDCS) seems to be on the increase, and there is little evidence to explain this trend. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception and attitudes of Nigerian antenatal clients towards MDCS, their willingness to request MDCS, and the relationship between willingness to request MDCS and sociodemographic characteristics.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was underta… Show more

“…[3][4][5] The reason for this marked increase has not been completely evaluated but the possible explanations are the use of electronic fetal monitoring which helps in early detection of fetal distress and results in increased number of caesarean section, increasing use of caesarean section for most of the breeches and practice of repeat caesarean section.

In multiple logistic regression, compared to SHC or PHC, respondents at THC were significantly more likely to request cesarean section and to defend women's freedom to choose the way they like to give birth (Okonkwo, Ojengbede, Morhason-Bello, & Adedokun, 2012) .…”
