Attitude Towards the Concept of CS on Demand

Caesarean section (CS) is a surgical procedure performed to facilitate delivery of the baby through an incision made on the mother's abdomen. Ideally, it is recommended in situations where normal vaginal delivery (VD) can pose risks to either the mother baby or both .

This could be due to many factors influencing the patients' decisions, including possible fetal outcomes concerning beliefs in some cultures and the convenience of patients and obstetricians(7) .cesarean section on demand allows a woman to choose a cesarean section without a medical reason, based solely on her personal preference Five themes that reflected the reasons for elective cesarian birth without medical indication were identified: (1) fear of vaginal birth process, (2) concerns about future sexual life, (3) need for humanized birth, (4) personal reasons, and (5) decision-making process.(8) raising the awareness of prov
