Brief Summary
Patient satisfaction after an unplanned cesarean section was studied and in the previous study it was noted that there were common themes that lead to patient dissatisfaction. The four common themes were: lack of trust regarding the indications for surgery, communication issues, loss of control, and fear during the situation. The purpose of this second phase of this study is to try and improve patient dissatisfaction by offering additional emotional support prior to the c/s with the hope of decreasing the trust issues toward physicians, decreasing the communication barriers, and decreasing the fear and loss of control. The additional emotional support that will be received prior to the cesarean section will be scripted based upon the findings of the investigators' prior study - the patient will be asked four questions and each question addresses the four themes that were noted in the previous study.
