Comparative StudyChange of childbirth preference after delivery among nulliparous Chinese women and their partners.
The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of childbirth preference among nulliparous Chinese women and their partners on actual mode of delivery, and to assess women's change in preference from vaginal delivery to cesarean and the factors associated with this change. ⋯ Women's cesarean preference during pregnancy was associated with actual cesarean delivery. Inadequate quality of care in labor and delivery and overestimation of cesarean safety underlie post-partum women's increased preference for cesarean.
