Postpartum contraception.
Mothers and their partners have a range of options to consider for use postnatally. Clinicians may help couples to make a decision by describing the options available and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each, taking into account the particular demands of the post-delivery period. The options they may consider include: lactational amenorrhoea, combined oral contraception, the progesterone-only pill, injectable methods, implants, intrauterine devices and systems, barrier methods and sterilisation. Emergency contraception may also be needed.
