Child birth is a matter of life and death. Operational procedure either natural or C-section is directly related to it. China has one of the highest rate of C-section birth in the world. With most if not all, related to non-medical reasons. In this study we have identified the main drivers for non-medical related C-section birth in Xuzhou, China. The research was conducted in two phases. In first phase the magnitude of C-section preference amongst recent mothers and pregnant women was calculated. Furthermore women who preferred natural birth the impact of China two child policy on their choice was determined. Out of total 326, 43% preferred natural birth. While 64% of those who preferred natural birth were influenced by China’s two child policy. Remaining 57% preferred Csection birth due to various reasons, quite surprisingly the highest 29% would go or have gone for C-section because everybody is doing C-section around them, followed by sexual reasons 18%, superstition 12% and because of guidance/influence of midwives and gynecologists 11%. Although China’s two child policy have helped in reducing high preference of C-section, but it’s not enough at least for Xuzhou. Central and Xuzhou local government should take more necessary measures.
