Summary

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 . In the western world women have only one or two children, while in the East or the Middle East, women are culturally coerced into having many children. Thus, they are more prone to multiple Cesarean deliveries in their lifetime \[1.2\]. ThisAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), since 1985, the acceptable percentage of worldwide C-sections has been 10-15% of all deliveries \[3\]. One of the most critical findings of the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that the Cesarean delivery rate has increased from 20.7% in 1995 to 31.6% in 2016 \[4 \]. It is important to mention that Cesarean deliveries are life-saving procedures when there are obstetrical indications.(5.6) Cesarean delivery indications include fetal malpresentation, multiple pregnancies, chorioamnionitis, arrested labour, oligohydramnios, cord prolapse, cephalo-pelvic disorders, and medical diseases such as eclampsia and HELPP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) syndrome .the number of patients undergoing Cesarean delivery for non-obstetric reasons has rapidly increased. 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 providers about the appropriate indications for CS and the importance of advocating for vaginal delivery among eligible women - including those with a previous CScan trigger practice changes that may reduce the incidence of non-medically indicated caesarean delivery
