Objective: In this study we aimed to determine the alteration of birth types by years and opinion of women on caesarean section (C/S) who gave birth within last 10 years in Diyarbakir. Material and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the area of 12 primary healthcare centres in Diyarbakir between March and April 2010. In each primary healthcare centres area it was planned to reach 50 mothers (25 women not working and 25 working women) who had at least one child less than 10 years old and totally 497 women were interviewed. A structured questionnaire including sociodemographic features, birth types within last ten years and opinions about C/S was introduced to women. For intermittent variables percentage distributions, for continue variables arithmetic means were calculated and chi square analyse was used for cross tabulates. Result: Mean age of mothers was 30.6 ± 5.6 and 53.3% of women was housewives. 57% of health workers, 43,5% of other employed women and 29.4% of housewives had at least one C/S during their lives. 64,9% of women who had C/S were satisfied with it. Having no labor pain 49.2% and facing with no problems 17.8% were the reasons for C/S satisfaction shown by women. The unsatisfaction reasons were pain (27.4%), late wound healing (24.2%) and abdominal fat fall (6.5%). During 10 years, 497 women gave 833 births. 30.8% of them was C/S. Birth types according to years were dramatically changed. Thirteen point seven percent of children born ten years ago were delivered by C/S while this ratio was 31.2% in 5 years old children and 46.3% in 0-12 months children.
