Introduction and goal: A woman can give birth naturally, vaginally or by caesarean section. Caesarean section is defined as delivery of the fetus through an open abdominal incision and uterine incision. It is divided into elective/planned and emergency caesarean section. Currently, 41 weeks of pregnancy is considered the medical indication for induction and there is also evidence that the risks to the mother and newborn increase after 39 weeks, as the pregnancy progresses. The techniques of choice for caesarean section are general and spinal anaesthesia. Regional anaesthesia, i.e. spinal anaesthesia, is safe and effective, and also considered as best choice for elective caesarean section. General anaesthesia is performed for 1. category of emergency caesarean section. Adequate analgesia after cesarean delivery is still not widely available, so postpartum pain remains a common problem. The optimal time of recovery is six weeks, while several months are needed for the body to adapt. According to a recent study by the World Health Organization, the number of caesarean sections is increasing worldwide. The aim of this research was to gain insight into the indications and complications of surgery, the selection of the most appropriate type of anesthesia and the timely application of analgesia. Methods: Research was conducted through an online questionnaire available on social media. The questionnaire was administered to women who had undergone a caesarean section and faced the challenges that this brings. It consisted 26 questions and was conducted between 12 March 2024 and 30 April 2024. Total of 380 respondents participated. Results: The typical respondent in this survey is between the ages of 25 and 35, lives in an urban area and is hospitalized at the District Hospital in Čakovec. One in three deliveries by caesarean section was planned, and the majority were emergency deliveries, i.e. one in five women had complications. The anaesthesia during caesarean section was mainly spinal and the operation lasted up to an hour. Reactions to anaesthesia occurred in one in three caesarean sections. The average pain score was 7. Most respondents had moderate problems with activities of daily living. Discussion/conclusion: Preparation and education of parturients by health professionals is essential for faster and easier recovery. The absence of analgesia indicates higher pain after the procedure, which later prevents activities of daily living. It is necessary to consider the indications and recognize the complications and choose the best choice of anesthesia with sufficient analgesia.
