¹Unadjusted pessimism and optimism regressed against unplanned cesarean section delivery (yes/no).
²Optimism and pessimism adjusted for previous abortion, previous miscarriage, pregnancy complications, infant gestational age at delivery, infant birthweight, labor duration, birth complications, and self-rated difficulty of this pregnancy. Birth complications and labor duration were the clinical factors that were significantly associated with unplanned cesarean section delivery (𝑃=.001).
