520 _aThe authors of this article have noticed that, both in medicalliterature as in clinical practice, there are increasing numbers ofnon-essential C-sections being performed at the mother’s requestfor the birth of a first baby. They adopt a psychoanalytical stanceas a means of exploring the desires and defence mechanisms atplay in motivating such demands, and they articulate the questionof giving birth with that of being a woman. They offer a description of the processes which have led them to speculate on thefollowing question – does the desire to avoid the sexual dimension of giving birth lie at the origin of a request on the part ofsome women to give birth via a C-section?
