Cephalopelvic disproportion and fetal malpresentation were the most common indications for cesarean section. Reproductive history was significantly associated with each of [maternal age at (P=0.001), residency at (P=0.001), monthly income at (P=0.003) and type of antenatal care at (P=0.000). No significant relationship was reported between women demographic data and their indications for caesarean section at p-value <0.05.
