“…In a cesarean section, there is usually a mother-baby withdrawal due to the limitations imposed by the surgery, so the care demanded by the baby cannot always be performed by the mother in the first hours or days of life, breastfeeding is delayed and may influence the desire of the woman to breastfeed. 16 It was observed in this study that although women prefer normal delivery over the cesarean section that, according to them, causes a long recovery and all the consequences that arise from this lack of mobility, knowledge about the way of delivery contradicts their expectations, because most when it comes to the way of delivery consider cesarean delivery as a quick fix and saves them from the anxiety of going through labor and the speed with which they can safely have their baby. Often the media transmits distorted information about childbirth, creating myths about some risky situations that would indicate caesarean sections.…”

Objective: to analyze the perception of the pregnant women about the choice of the way of delivery and the nurse's role in the prenatal guidelines. Methodology: a qualitative study carried out in Ceilândia/DF between October and December 2013, with nine pregnant women. Semi-structured interviews were carried out and analyzed according to Bardin. Results: they were grouped into three categories: reasons related to the choice of delivery method; knowledge of pregnant women about the birth process; and the statistics of play in the match. There was unanimous preference for vaginal delivery based on faster recovery compared to cesarean section, previous positive experience of vaginal delivery, among other factors. There was distorted knowledge about the delivery routes and poor performance of the nurse in the orientation on the birth tract. The pregnant women pointed out that there was no dialogue on the issues related to childbirth in the consultations and when they questioned the issue some professionals were unprepared to respond. Conclusion: this study is expected to promote a change in the prenatal care model for women's empowerment and conscious choices about the way of delivery. It is believed that the professional qualification of the nurses would be one of the solutions for the increase in the quality of the assistance.

“…It is common for women who have undergone vaginal delivery to describe greater contentment, to present a more positive positioning of the delivery and to form a better bond with the baby. 16 In this sample, one of the women reported having had good prior experience with normal delivery, which is why I would like to repeat the experiment.…”

“…Several studies have been conducted on reasons behind the high rate of CS in Iran (20)(21)(22)(23). Studies have shown that a main reason is willing of women to undergo CS due to fear of pain during labor and childbirth (21,24,25), concerns about genital modifications after vaginal delivery (26)(27)(28), belief that CS is safer for baby (29)(30)(31), and the convenience for women and their families (18). Studies show that women can play a major role in decision-making process about their birth (32)(33)(34)(35)(36).…”

Background Caesarean Section is an important surgical procedure, when normal vaginal delivery imposes a risk to mother and/or baby. The World Health Organization states the ideal rate for Cesarean section to be between 10% and 15% of all births. Even though, in recent decades, the rate has been increased dramatically worldwide. This paper explains the protocol of a randomized controlled trial that aims to compare the effect of "motivational interviewing" and "information, motivation and behavioral skills” on choosing mode of delivery in pregnant women. Methods/design A four-armed, parallel-design randomized controlled trial will be conducted on pregnant women. One hundred and twenty women will be randomly assigned to three intervention and one control groups. The inclusion criteria include being literate, gestational age from 24 to 32 weeks, being able to speak Persian, having no complications in the current pregnancy, having no indications for CS, and having enough time to participate in the intervention. The most important outcomes of the study include women’s intention to undergo Cesarean section, women’s self-efficacy, and usability of mobile application by the participants, and mode of delivery. Discussion The interventions of this protocol have been programmed to reduce unnecessary Cesarean section. Therefore, after running the protocol, findings may contribute to a rise in normal vaginal delivery. If proven to have an appropriate impact, it may be extended for use in national Cesarean section plans.

“…2,3 It is essential that health care providers provide continuous support to the mother during childbirth to enable her to have a natural delivery. 4 Tertiary referral centers have obstetric admissions with numerous obstetric and medical complications. 5 We sought to find out the outcome of mother and baby and background features among women delivering vaginally, in a referral centre where more women with complications are admitted for safe confinement.…”
