The aim of this study was to determine obstetric gynecology sociodemographic factors, obstetric care and power of decision in women with obstetric complication in the Municipality of Yaxcaba, Yucatan, Mexico. Data complicated women from 2009 to 2013 were reviewed. Prior informed consent questionnaire was applied. We found 22(71%) illiterate, 25(81%) married, and 30(97%) housewives. The main complication was abortion with 12(39%) women; 13(42 %) had three or more pregnancies, 24(77%) at least one birth and 16(52%) at least one cesarean; 28(90 %) women took more than 1 hour to be transferred and 24(77%) did not decide for themselves their transfer.
