Abstract : Most often the pool of maternal deaths, accounting for about one-sixth of the deaths were contributed by
India.1As we are approaching the deadline for Millennium development goals, the need for improving the standard of
maternal care is getting more necessary.(2)Even though many policies and programs have been designed to improve the
reproductive health worldwide, high maternal morbidity and mortality continue to persist in many resource-poor
settings. (3)The most important approach to alleviating this problem has been to strengthen the knowledge, attitudes and
practices of women of reproductive age. Maternal morbidity and mortality are largely preventable through the provision of
antenatal care, institutional delivery and timely postnatal care.(6,7) the objectives of the study are to explore the role of
different individuals and to correlate their influence on overall decision making during pregnancy and delivery. The current
study is a Cross-sectional type of Hospital based study done Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe),
Wardha. The study participant included were the pregnant women admitted at Acharya Vinobha Bhave rural hospital and
their husbands at the time of the study. This study contributes to existing literature in finding that women in India do not
have independent control over their own maternal health decisions. A women’s care seeking behavior of their morbidities
not only depends on her own perception but also on the factors of her perception of the husband and other family members.
