Why do women request an elective cesarean delivery for non ‐medical reasons? A systematic review of the qualitative literature

ConclusionsThe reasons behind CDMR are multifactorial and complex. Situation‐specific cultural factors, fear of pain during childbirth, previous experience, and interactions with health care professionals are likely to have led to the increase in CDMR. Multifaceted, context‐specific approaches are required if there is to be a reduction in CDMR rates.
