Women's responses were identified by individual codes and categorized. The research shows that women have a positive opinion on the C-section, Theky consider it the best choice in a situation that has been taken to save their child. Despite that most respondents were worried before surgery, their consent to the caesarean section would not change today. For more than half, the information provided by the doctor was sufficient and comprehended. Almost all surveyed women were satisfied with nursing care and information from midwives and also with the first contact with the newborn, which occurred within two hours after the procedure.
