Background : Since 1985 the World Health Organization (WHO) had stated: “There is no justification for any region to have Caesarian Sections (CS) rates higher than 10-15%”.
Since then, CSs have become increasingly common in both developed and developing countries.
The rate of CS has been reported to be as high as 24.5% and 25.8% among Iraqi women in the years 2009 and 2010 respectively.
Objectives : The study was designed to provide data on the level of existing knowledge, attitudes and preference of modes of delivery, which can be used as a platform to raise knowledge among pregnant women and their partners and thereby empowering women to make informed choices.
Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was undertaken in an antenatal care clinic in Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Medical City, and Baghdad from 1st Feb.
-31st May 2016.
All 300 pregnant attending antenatal clinic were interviewed with a structured questionnaire that solicited information on their knowledge, attitudes and preference towards modes of delivery.
Results : Mean age of pregnant women was 28.3 ± 9.8SD years and84.7% were not employed.
More than half of them (54.3%) had married at younger age (<20 years).
Educational levels were 43.3% primary, 18% secondary and 20.4% university levels.
Knowledge of majority of pregnant mothers (82.6%) about modes of delivery were obtained from relatives.
Half of pregnant women had good knowledge about modes of delivery, 51.3% of them had negative attitude toward CS, and 62% had positive attitude towards CS delivery in current pregnancy.
