Abstract
A request for the performance of an elective caesarean section should be discussed openly and the arguments pro and con clearly explained. If the woman persists in her request, it would seem advisable to consent. Respect for the 'intuition' of a pregnant woman who is not motivated in favour of a vaginal delivery can prevent the delivery from ending in a secondary caesarean that will be perceived as an extremely traumatic experience.
