Abstract
Postpartum contraception is an integral part of women's reproductive healthcare that poses many challenges to both the new mother and her practitioner. These challenges are associated with having a newborn, breastfeeding, maternal medical comorbidities, as well as socioeconomic barriers. While we provide contraception counseling in the postpartum period during their hospital stay, 10���44% of women are at risk of an unplanned pregnancy in the first 12 months postpartum. This session will focus on understanding the medical eligibility criteria for providing contraception in both breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding women, as well as how to provide the most effective method of contraception as soon after delivery as possible. The audience will participate in a discussion regarding overcoming the challenges of post-placental IUD placement and implant placement prior to hospital discharge. Also, affecting a change in scheduling the postpartum visit earlier, as the current tradition is out of date, will be addressed.
