Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the current situation about caesarean births and natural births in Bangladesh. This study along with an objective of presenting the comparative analysis also examines the factors that influence women to take decision about their delivery. Statistical analyses based on face to face interviews with 110 pregnant women from government and private institution were performed to find out the dominant factors affecting women to choose their delivery process. Both bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression were used to identify the influential socioeconomic factors. This study attempted to seek out the factors that are responsible for women to take their decisions regarding the delivery process. The variables named living place, occupation, economic condition, education level and institution were found to be most significant.
