Rising Caesarean Section Rate in Developed Countries is not the Best Option for Childbirth

Obstetric interventions, especially caesarean sections (CS) have increased in recent years in all developed countries. The steady rise in CS rate is an emerging issue of concern in mother-child health care and a matter of international attention. Unnecessary CS have resulted in increased infection, hemorrhage, organ damage, drug complications, prematurity, increased neonatal illness, and longer hospitalization. Nevertheless, CS rates tend to vary widely with clinical and socio-demographic factors of patients as well as the attitudes of health providers. Consequently, national CS rates do not reflect what is happening locally, supporting the trend toward monitoring rates at the level of individual hospital or physician. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to explain the complications and responsiveness about CS as well as to encourage women in their childbearing ages (15-49) years to make their decision for experiencing vaginal delivery.
