Introduction: The post pregnancy time frame is gone to by a mixture of variety in ladies' wellbeing and personal satisfaction. These changes can influence the wellbeing of moms and child. Taking into account the significance of postnatal quality of life and its different contributing factors, this study aimed to compare women’s quality of life after vaginal delivery and caesarean section. Methods: For this study, a comparative descriptive research design was used in conjunction with a quantitative research approach. A convenient sampling technique is used to select postnatal women who met the inclusion criteria and visited the urban PHC in Nerkundrum. Data were collected using the SF-36 structured questionnaire approach, and descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Result: The calculated student independent ‘t’ test value for physical functioning (t=21.427, p=0.0001), role limitations due to emotional problems (t=6.137, p=0.0001), energy/fatigue (t=10.128, p=0.0001), emotional well-being (t=17.249, p=0.0001), social functioning (t=4.698, p=0.0001), pain (t=8.073, p=0.0001) and general health (t=17.403, p=0.0001) shows statistically significant difference between the mothers who have normal vaginal delivery and caesarean section in which the mothers who had undergone normal vaginal delivery had better quality of life than the mothers who had undergone LSCS. Conclusion: Women who gave birth naturally experienced better quality of life than those who underwent Caesarean sections. Therefore, wherever possible, women should be encouraged to give birth vaginally.
