Abstract:

Access to postpartum contraception is critical for the health of the mother and subsequent pregnancies. However, the differential roles and responsibilities of maternity care providers in contraception discussions and provision are often unclear. Our study, part of a larger study on midwifery provision of contraceptive implants, presents the perspectives of hospital-based maternity clinicians. Participants suggested that contraception discussions and provision are a shared responsibility of maternity care providers but identified inconsistencies and issues with current approaches. Access to contraception could be improved through more routine discussions antenatally and postnatally and greater collaboration between maternity care providers in hospital, community and primary care settings.
