Description
Brenda Ainomugisha and co-authors measure early contraception after cesarean birth in Uganda in this 2026 study. Starting contraception right after birth prevents short gaps between pregnancies, which carry risks for mother and baby. Uptake stays low in many low-resource settings even as cesarean rates rise.
At a regional hospital, 429 women who delivered by cesarean from late 2024 to early 2025 were surveyed, with records checked. Only 6.8 percent had started a method within 72 hours of birth. Tube tying was the most common choice among those who did. Most who skipped it said they wanted to heal first, while others chose natural methods or lacked awareness. Partner consent and method supply also played a part.
