Delivery is a process that every pregnant woman must pass through or undergo and this delivery could be spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) or cesarean section (CS). This delivery could occur at the health facilities (hospital) or at the home of traditional birth attendants (TBA). Delivery in the health facilities is important because it prepares the expectant mothers before the arrival of the baby through antenatal care. In the rural areas, majority of pregnant (expectant) mothers are willing to access facilities and delivery. However, these women could not deliver in the health facilities due to several factors that prevented them from accessing the facility and these factors include culture, distance, finance, and lack of awareness.
