Childbirth is a major change for the body, the parents’ relationship and the whole family.
You may become fertile quickly after giving birth, even if it took a long time to achieve the previous pregnancy or you have suffered from infertility.
The possibility of pregnancy after childbirth starts even before your period returns, as the first ovulation, or egg release, occurs before your first period.
Discuss your relationship and postnatal contraception with your spouse even before the baby is born and you start your busy life with a newborn.
We will explain the different options for contraception during the breastfeeding period and afterwards at the postnatal check-up. You can talk about contraception at any visit to the maternity and child health clinic, at your health station or by contacting centralised contraceptive counselling.
