  2. PPFP context • Progress in maternal health- increased emphasis on FANC, facility deliveries, immediate postpartum • New efforts in newborn care- community based with emphasis on the first week • FP was in policies linked to postpartum (6 wk) and MNCH, but not being implemented • Some FP in FANC; • Not much PNC or PPFP; • LAM not known or trusted; • PPIUCD provision limited.

Postpartum family planning Through one year postpartum Factors influencing fertility return in Bangladesh • Return to fertility=pregnancy risk • Return to sexual activity • Immediate, exclusive and continued breastfeeding • LAM and transition • Method considerations: timing and breastfeeding status • Healthy spacing of the next pregnancy • Integration—tailoring to fit with timing and service Winfrey and Borda. 2007: Addressing the Family Planning Needs of Women in the First Year Postpartum: Bangladesh.

  6. LAM transition- barrier analysis Compared 40 transitioners and 40 non-transitioners • Higher education for transitioners (5 yrs) than non (3 yrs) • Transitioners • More likely to have menses return • More likely to report believing they could become pregnant when any of the criteria changed • Report they had social support CHW counseling woman 30 day visit, Sylhet Bangladesh (Credit: C.

  7. Revisiting the PPIUCD Very effective, reversible, long-term method Does not effect quantity/quality of breastmilk Convenient for women (don’t need to return) – in Egypt: 71.2% chose PP insertion and 7.2% chose interval insertion Skilled birth attendants as providers Less expensive than interval – in Peru $9 for PPIUCD insertion and $24 for interval insertion Increased cramping/bleeding masked by normal PP symptoms Mohamed, Med Princ Pract 2003;12: 170-175 Foreit et al. 1993.
