OBJECTIVE: In last years there is an increase rate of elective Cesarean section. In our country 4% of women choose C-section nevertheless a medical negative counseling on maternal and fetal risk. We hypothesize delivery as a risk situation, according to the Beck’s theory, and we analyze the resources in women who choose to afford or not, a spontaneous delivery. METHODS: We enrolled 38 healthy subject attending the term consultation at the Buzzi Children’s Hospital and we divided them in 2 groups after the counseling: A) 11 women who chose elective Cesarean section (CS) B) 27 women who chose spontaneous delivery (controls). RESULTS: The population did not differ for mean age and parity (nulliparous in majority of cases). The main and statically significant differences between the two group were 1) reasons for parenthood : in CS was justified by age (54%), in controls represented an accomplishment of a couple (47%); 2) the imaginary delivery crucial time : for CS was the fetus expulsion and for controls was holding the baby; 3) the delivery representation: “terrible” for CS, “the best experience in life” for controls; 4) experiences of pleasant feelings: sex for CS and none for controls; 5)the need for control : for CS is mediated by brain and by hearth for controls.
