ABSTRACT
Background: Modes of delivery (birth of a baby) are spontaneous vaginal delivery and caesarean section. Throughout the modern obstetric and midwifery practice understanding, vaginal birth is and has been considered to be the preferred mode of delivery while caesarean birth is reserved only when it’s obstetrically indicated to save the life of the mother and/or the unborn baby and therefore, improve obstetric outcomes. The effect of mode of delivery on other outcomes, such as maternal and newborn outcomes, and psychological or social well-being are still unclear. Hence there is need to understand mode of delivery and obstetrics outcomes among primigravida.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore at the mode of delivery, rationale for Caesarean section, an association between mode of delivery and obstetric outcome.
Methods: This was an analytical cross sectional study involving 356 primigravida obtained through purposive sampling from Iringa municipality. Questionnaire and check list were used to collect information, and the data collected were analysed using SPSS 20 version. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the data analysis and presentation.
