Objective: to describe obstetric characteristics of pregnant women undergoing cesarean section at a University Hospital, by the Robson classification. Method: this quantitative, retrospective, descriptive study used secondary data from 294 medical records of pregnant women undergoing cesarean section at the hospital of Maranhão Federal University, from January to December 2015. Results: participants were predominantly nulliparous (51.02%), underwent caesarean section before onset of labor (57.15%), with term pregnancies (37.76%) and a single fetus (96.30%) in vertex presentation (90.82%). Robson Classification group 5 (multiparous with at least one previous cesarean section, single fetus, cephalic, ≥ 37 weeks ) was the most prevalent (28.23%). Conclusion: the caesarean section rate at this hospital is high (49.3%), even for a study at a referral maternity facility for high-risk pregnancies. The study revealed the users’ sociodemographic profile and obstetric characteristics, which are important information for planning care.
