Summary

The aim of this study is to gain insight in the experiences and expectations of Belgian parents concerning primary cesarean section. This will be achieved by structured patient interviews and questionnaires in 24 women undergoing the procedure and their partners. This group will be divided into two subgroups of 12 multiparous and 12 nulliparous women and their partners.

Detailed description

The subjects in both groups will be interviewed twice and will receive three questionnaires. One to two weeks prior to the scheduled cesarean section and during a scheduled obstetric outpatient visit, the first interview and questionnaire will be administered to the couple. A second questionnaire will be provided while still hospitalized (5 days post partum), to both mother and partner. Six weeks post partum, during a scheduled obstetric outpatient visit, the couple will be interviewed for the last time and will be asked to complete the third and last questionnaire.
