Description
Erjabo Adinew Mugoro and colleagues measure how long mothers in southern Ethiopia wait after childbirth before starting modern contraception, in this study from twenty twenty-three. Starting within six weeks is the World Health Organization's advice. Delay invites unintended pregnancy, with its health risks.
Records for five hundred three women in Hossana town put the median wait at six months, with half starting between three and nine. Three things sped the start: a partner with higher education, having more than two children already, and, strongest of all, having talked contraception through with the partner. Age over thirty and not yet resuming sex slowed it. The authors recommend bringing men into counseling and paying special attention to older and lower-parity mothers, to close a five-month gap against guidance.
