“…These negative reactions include accused of being lazy women, abused of wasting money, not woman enough to have vaginal delivery and involvement in stressful activities post CS so as to make them stronger. These findings are in accord with that of Sunday-Adeoye et al in which 23% of women that had CS were not well received at home and from the members of the community [7]. These negative reactions may have an adverse effect on the women acceptance of CS as the mode of delivery in their subsequent deliveries if the need arises and this could lead to poor maternal and perinatal outcome.…”

“…This finding is unfortunate for our environment where aversion for caesarean section exists [20][21][22] . Though, these studies' findings are consistent with the result of a recent systematic review 4 , the effect of small sample size cannot be ruled out because caesarean section rate was a secondary measure in the studies; so, there is a need for a large sample multicenter collaborative study to clarify their findings especially the secondary measures.…”

Background: Early amniotomy is common in obstetric practice but, its effectiveness has not been proven. Objectives: To determine the effects of early amniotomy on the duration of labour, and other maternal / neonatal outcomes of uncomplicated pregnancies in Enugu, South-east Nigeria. Methods: A randomized controlled study of 214 consenting term pregnant women at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu, Nigeria. Intervention group received amniotomy early in active labour while the control group had their membranes conserved. Results: Mean duration of labour for the amniotomy group (279.4 ± 53.7 minutes) was significantly lower than that of con-trol group (354.4 ± 67.5 minutes), (t = -8.988, p <0.001). Three (3.8%) women in amniotomy group needed oxytocin augmentation as against 21 (19.6%) women in the control group RR = 0.14, (CI 95%: 0.04 -0.46), NNT = 16. The two groups did not vary with respect to cesarean section rate, newborn Apgar scores, and need for new born special care unit admission. Conclusion: Early amniotomy when compared to fetal membrane conservation reduced the duration of labour and need for oxytocin augmentation among term singleton pregnant women in Enugu, Nigeria. Its routine use in well selected cases may reduce prolonged labour and its complications.

Received: May 2015, Accepted: September 2015 Background: The increase in the prevalence of cesarean section (C-section) in recent decades has become a public health problem worldwide. Studies of cesarean section in order to identify the causes and form policies and interventions to reduce the incidence of this health problem are necessary. This study was conducted with the aim to investigate the causes of C-sections performed at Niknafs and Ali-Ibn Abi Talib Hospitals in Rafsanjan, Iran, in the second trimester of 2014. Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 560 pregnant women were selected from among those referred to Niknafs and Ali-Ibn Abi Talib Hospitals in the second trimester of 2014 for cesarean delivery. Information was collected using a researcher-made checklist through interviews with patients and reviewing medical records. Data were analyzed using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests, as required. Results: The mean and standard deviation of age of women was 29.46 ± 5.08 years and most of them (65.0%) were in the age range of 26-36 years and had a diploma (40.7%). Considering delivery history, the highest percentage of women had had a single delivery (38.9%) and over half of the subjects (52.9%) had experienced a previous C-section. The most common causes were repeated Csection (52.9%), elective C-section (on maternal request) (7.5%), meconial stained (6.1%), fetal distress (5.0%), and breech presentation (4.5%). Statistically significant associations were observed between C-section reasons, and age (P < 0.001), number of previous pregnancies (P < 0.001), and previous delivery method (P = 0.010). Conclusions: Repeated C-section, as the most common cause of cesarean, has had a major role in increasing cesarean. Vaginal delivery after cesarean, taking into account the clinical and legal circumstances and providing training programs to acquaint women to the negative consequences of Csection and vaginal delivery benefits would be effective in the choice of delivery and might help in reducing cesarean.

Pregnant Nigerian women′s view of cesarean section

Abstract: This study affirms previous suspicion that a significant proportion of antenatal clients are averse to C/S and the negative cultural perception of the people to C/S reinforced this aversion.
