ABSTRACT
Background:
There is a growing concern among parturient women to have labour management modified to accommodate some of their preferences based on their previous experience of information obtainedfrom others.
Objecti i ms: As service care providers, we sought to identijy women's attitude to some important aspects of childbirth, namely: the preferred place or environment of delivery; reasonsfor dislike of modem labour management; as well as attitudes (cognitive, affect and behaviour) to operative delivery, particularly caesarean delivery.
Methods: A survey of women's attitude to some important aspects of childbirth was carried out with the use of questionnaires among women attending antenatal clinic at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Results:The study showed a great desire by women to have someone they already know in labour (spouses 58.80%; mother/motherfigure 88.68%). Forty percent ofthose who prefer to deliver outside hospital settings would do so due to unfriendly attitudes ofdoctors and midwives.
Conclusion-.There is the need to appropriately train doctors and midwives who attend to women in labour as regards the anxieties and needs of the women in labour.
