Awareness of the Maternal Health Benefits of Lactation Among US Pregnant Women [A30]

Abstract

contraception until the postpartum visit, women choosing contraceptive methods other than immediate postpartum LARC also had a higher rate of SIP (12.6%) when compared with the LARC group (4.0%, P50.003). After adjustment for potential confounders including nulliparity, young maternal age, and married status, SIP was lower with immediate postpartum LARC [AOR 0.27 (95% CI 0.18, 0.64), P5.003] and higher by married status [AOR 1.89 (95% CI 1.26, 2.84), P5.002].CONCLUSION: Implementation of an immediate postpartum LARC program decreased SIP rates. Improved counseling about the impact of immediate LARC placement for family planning is encouraged.
