The permanent methods and limiting the family size has been successful but contraception for spacing is lagging behind. Utilization of spacing method of contraception varied from 13.8% in a study done in north India 1 to 26% in a study on more than 1 lakh women across 28 districts. 2Regardless of the education 75% of women were found to be sexually active by 3 months after delivery.3 In a study conducted on 272 postpartum women attending a private medical college in Lucknow, a city in Uttar Pradesh, India, 28% women were sexually active within 6 weeks postpartum and only 54.4% used contraception the most common being condoms. ABSTRACTBackground: Though the permanent methods have been successful in our country the spacing methods lag behind and unwanted unplanned pregnancies continue to be high. This study was undertaken to explore the knowledge level, attitude and the factors influencing the potential use of spacing contraception among recently delivered women.

BACKGROUNDIndia is the second most populous country in the world after China. In an effort to stabilize the population, National Family Welfare Program was launched in 1951. There has been an increase in contraceptive prevalence and a reduction in total fertility rate since then. For better results, contraceptive use should start right from the post partum period. This also significantly reduces maternal and infant mortality rates.
