Materials and methods: A descriptive comparative study was performed in which the research population included all nulliparous women attending a health center in Mazandaran province, Iran 2017. Census method was used and 272 women with normal vaginal delivery (NVD, n=132) and CS (n=140) were selected. Data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were confirmed by gynecologists and Cronbach's alpha 0.76, respectively. Data analysis was done in SPSS V24. Results: Out of 140 CS delivery, 66 (46.5%) had no medical recommendations. The main causes were fear of vaginal pain and health and safety of the fetus. The chance of NVD improved by 1% increase in knowledge about the benefits of NVD (15%) and disadvantages of CS (12%) (P<0.001). Also, 1% improvement in socioeconomic status rose the chance of choosing CS 2.45 times (P=0.023). Conclusion: According to current research, informing nulliparous women about the disadvantages of CS and the benefits of NVD is necessary. Therefore, educational interventions are recommended for women planning pregnancy.
