Gut feelings in obstetrics and midwifery: the role of intuition in deciding when to perform cesarean section during labor.

Conclusion: Intuition plays a still not completely uncovered role in the decision to advise cesarean section during labor. The level of consciousness at which professionals use intuition or gut feeling and are aware of it in decision making is variable. Intuition or gut feelings seem to contribute more to the decision process as the level of experience increases. PMID: 32538239 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
