Caesarean delivery on maternal request

Caesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) is a caesarean section birth requested by the pregnant woman without a medical reason. Caesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) is a caesarean section birth requested by the pregnant woman without a medical reason. The concept of 'caesarean delivery on maternal request' is not well-recognized in health care, and consequently, when it occurs there are not mechanisms in place for reporting it for research or distinguishing it in medical billing. Over the last century, delivery by CS has become increasingly safer. The medical reasons for selecting CS instead of a vaginal birth therefore could become 'softer', and the move to perform CS on request can be viewed as an extension of this development. Until recently an elective caesarean section was done on the basis of some medical grounds; the CDMR situation, however, makes the mother's preference the determining factor for the delivery mode.
