Abstract
Caesarean section by maternal request (CSMR) is the provision of a caesarean section when requested by the mother, with no medical indication. This paper aims to provide a narrative overview of CSMR to inform clinicians about the pertinent issues. It will examine current provision of CSMR in the UK and contextualise it among prevailing social and societal factors. It will explore in detail the reasons why women may choose caesarean section, and provide arguments for and against the provision of CSMR on the NHS.
