Experiences with Prenatal and Postpartum Contraceptive Services among Women with a Preterm Birth

Providing postpartum contraception can help to achieve recommended interpregnancy intervals ( ≥18 months from birth to next pregnancy), decrease the risk of preterm birth, and thus improve maternal and infant health outcomes of future pregnancies. However, the experiences of women with preterm birth regarding contraceptive services have not been documented. We sought to better understand contraceptive counseling experiences and postpartum contraception of women with a preterm birth.
