The aim of this inquiry study is to assess the women's preference for abdominal or vaginal delivery in 113 women, divided in tree subgroups: 38 nonpregnant, 38 pregnant with one more births and 37 puerperas. All women are with high education and 49.6% of them had past at least one university exam of obstetrics and gynecology. 42.1% of nonporous women and 40.9% from parous would like to deliver CS. With the time from vaginal delivery the preference for vaginal deliver again decreases from 84.2% to 60.9% of cases. All women delivered by CS prefer CS again. Complications of vaginal delivery are factor for increasing CS rate. The pain relief of vaginal delivery does not increase the preference for vaginal deliver again. In 40% of women there is steady desire for vaginal delivery despite previous complications or full medical information for the concrete conditions. 88.5% of inquired women agree with "CS on request".
