Abstract: The purpose of this study was to contrast the maternal morbidity outcome in relation to a Cesarean section (CS) and vaginal delivery (VD) in a group of women to gain a better insight into the delivery mode implications on maternal health. Information about demographic factors, clinical measures, delivery indicators, maternal morbidity, postpartum complications in particular, the duration of the hospital stay, and the readmission rates were gathered. A statistical test was conducted through statistical software [SPSS], and tests such as chi-square and t-tests were applied to determine differences between groups. Findings: with 128 participants, 64 who received CS, and 64 who delivered vaginally, where The research conducted established that the total maternal mortality was much more advanced in the CS cohort (39.1) than in the VD cohort (15.6) (p=0.003). Certain complications, such as postpartum bleeding (18.8 vs. 3.1) and wound infection (9.4 vs. 1.6), also proved to be significantly different in the two groups. In addition, the CS group had a mean hospital stay of 4.5 days with a standard deviation of 1.2 that was much higher than the VD group (2.7 days with a standard deviation of 0.9), with the p-value of less than 0.001 considered as significant. The CS group (12.5) had a significantly higher readmission rate within 30 days after delivery than the VD group (3.1), with a significant p-value of 0.025. Conclusion: The results suggest that Cesarean birth is linked with a greater morbidity among the mothers and extended hospitalization among the mothers than vaginal birth. This paper highlights the significance of the consideration of the mode of delivery in the process of clinical decision-making and the necessity of debates of the risks of Cesarean section. More studies are also needed to determine the long-term consequences of such results.
