A total of 400 women were studied; 309 (%77.3) delivered vaginally, and 91 (%22.7) by cesarean section. The mean age of the participants was 27. The mean of the birth weight of babies was 3239.77 grams (SD: ±359.07).
Before the end of the active phase and end of the second stage, the cesarean section performed in 82 (20.5%) and 91 (2.3%) pregnant women, respectively.
