Pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon, and its end is associated with pain, fear, anxiety, and even fear of death for mothers. Child delivery is a multi-dimensional process with physical, emotional, social, physiological, cultural, and psychological dimensions. Childbirth can be a critical and sometimes painful experience for women.
Pain is one of the most common medical problems, which adversely affects an individual’s abilities and leads to fear and anxiety. Attitudes towards labor pain are associated with physical, psychological, environmental, and supporting factors, which greatly affect the decision about mode of delivery.
“vaginal delivery, a facilitator of women’s physical and mental health promotion”, and “C-section, a surgical intervention associated with decreased labor pain”. Six sub-themes subsumed within these major themes were: vaginal delivery as a safe mode of delivery, fulfillment of maternal instinct, a natural process with a pleasant ending, and C-section as a procedure associated with future complications, a surgical intervention and sometimes a life saving procedure, and a painless mode of delivery.
