Caesarean section is a mode of operative procedure by the fetuses are delivered through an incision on the abdominal and uterine walls after the end of 28th weeks. The annual rise of caesarean section rates worldwide is 4.4% on average during the period 1990-2014, with Asian countries become the second highest annual increase during the period . There were also negative implications of unnecessarily high caesarean rates at the individual, family, and national levels in terms of mother’s well-being, health expenditure, and efficient use of resources. There are non-clinical factors and clinical factors for rapidly increasing caesarean section rates. Some of the non-clinical factors are fear of litigation, and patient’s requests to physicians to conduct caesarean sections. Without considering the negative consequences of un-necessary surgical intervention, women prefer caesarean birth because they think vaginal birth to be a more painful and dangerous procedure. Educated and higher economic status women are more likely to make a self-request for caesarean section .
