One of the women's rights and autonomy are the choose the mode of delivery. Elective cesarean is one of the delivery methods that the women can choose without medical reasons but do will select this method if she is fully aware of the short- term and long-term effects of cesarean section versus vaginal birth?.
Opinion about the elective cesarean section as a method of delivery describes a combination of women's belief about her right to choose, feelings about vaginal delivery, and women's beliefs about body image.
This position statement aims to discuss the issues of elective cesarean birth and the factors that have recently contributed to this choice debated. We must determine how costs, advantages, and liability matters affect the birth mode recommendations.
