Abstract For most women the contraceptive desire is felt just after delivery but only 40% of them will resort to contraceptive methods (Gueye, M., et al. 2013). Unmet needs especially during this period therefore remain alarming and have a direct impact on maternal and child health. Indeed pregnancies occurring in the first year after childbirth are the most dangerous for the mother and child due to an increased risk of complications. In Senegal, contraceptive prevalence (CP) increased progressively from 8% to 25% for all methods between 1997 and 2016 (National Agency for Statistics and Demography (ANSD). 2017. Senegal). However, this increase remains below expectations in line with the national family planning strategy 2016-2020. Increasing the contraceptive prevalence, the reduction of maternal and infant mortality involves the use of modern methods of long-Acting reversible contraception such as the intrauterine device (IUD). The best time to deliver this contraception remains postpartum. Indeed, the need for contraception is the highest and clients are in contact with health care providers. IUD used in the postpartum several advantages. Indeed it is a method of safe and reversible long-term, highly effective with a Pearl Index of around 0.1% and does not interfere with breastfeeding (Lopez, L.M., et al. 2015) |
