Detailed Description
The Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) measure maternal love attachment (9).

Always is calculated as (a) = 4 points, often (b) = 3 points, sometimes (c) = 2 points and never (d) = 1 point. The lowest score which could be obtained from the scale that measures maternal emotions and behaviors indicating love is 26, the high score is 104, and a high score indicates a high maternal attachment (12).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Compare mother-infant bond (MIB) scores between the vaginal delivery and the C-section (C/S) groups. [3 months]
They were examined three month after delivery using Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI); Each item is evaluated by a 4-way to 26-point Likert-type scale ranging from "always" to "never".

The lowest score which could be obtained from the scale that measures maternal emotions and behaviors indicating love is 26, the high score is 104, and a high score indicates a high maternal attachment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- evaluate the correlations between the MIB scores and their sociodemographic data. [3 months]
