“…This is similar to other studies that did not find an association between mode of delivery and fewer subsequent pregnancies [36,48]. Since in Israel, as in most of the Western world, birth is medicalized, it is possible that having an emergency mode of delivery is not viewed as outside of the norm [49]. The physical experience of having a medicalized birth is acceptable and what matters more is the subjective experience, which might be overwhelming, and consequently affects women's future fertility [50].…”

“…Similarly, students aged 17-20 years were significantly more likely to agree that women have the right to opt for a cesarean birth without medical indication, compared to older students. Students over 25 years old were significantly more likely to agree that birth technology should only be reserved for women who need it (p < 0.001); however [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] year old students were twice as likely to agree that birth technology is necessary to deliver a baby, compared to students 25 or younger (p< 0.001).…”
