This is a qualitative descriptive research with the purpose of understanding the aspects related to the kind of delivery pregnant women living in the city of Rondonópolis-MT preferred. To collect data, we used semistructured interviews, which were later submitted to thematic content analysis. Of the sixteen participants, thirteen had Caesareans and just three underwent vaginal delivery in the last pregnancy, however, ten of them said that they wanted a normal delivery in early pregnancy and only six showed their preference for a Caesarean since early pregnancy. The choice for a Caesarean section in late pregnancy was not necessarily related to medical indication. The most prevalent aspects related to the preference for the kind of delivery were: the experience of previous delivery, which interfered with the decision of subsequent deliveries; the lack of information during prenatal care, which led to the search for information on unreliable sources; and fears related to pain and tragic outcomes which strongly influenced on the choice of mode of delivery, causing a great number of Caesareans without clinical indications. It has been observed the importance of professional legal advice during prenatal care in order to reduce the high incidence of unnecessary Caesarean sections and providing women with better and more information on their choice of delivery.
