Abstract :Abstract. Delivery is a multidimensional process considered as a critical experience in women’s lives. According to previously conducted studies, cesarean section rate, over the past two decades, has increased in both developed and developing countries. This is under the influence of many factors. One of the methods of reducing this rate is to identify the causes and factors affecting women’s choice. 271 pregnant women, admitted to Social Security Hospital in Zahdean, participated in this study. The results indicated that fear of labor pain, age, place of residence and previous delivery experience had significant correlation with behavioral intention (p<0.05) and fear of pain (91.1%) and fear of harming the fetus (89.3%) were the most important factors affecting women’s choice. Therefore, pregnant women referred to health centers should be informed about disadvantages of a cesarean section and preference for natural childbirth.
