[Birth and separation, questioning caesarean deliveries on maternal request]. / Naissance et séparation, interroger les césariennes sur demande maternelle.

Clinical practice and literature highlight the emergence and the growth in the number of caesareans carried out on the request of the mother without medical indication. For some women, a vaginal delivery is an anachronism, while for others it is a necessary passage towards motherhood. A reflection was carried out to illustrate the singularity behind these requests and attempt to overcome the 'for' and 'against' divide.
