who want to learn more about contraception after pregnancy and what is available from their maternity service after their baby is born.

Fertility can return as early as Day 21, and we recommend a minimum of 12 months between the birth of a baby and becoming pregnant again. Maternity services can now offer contraception before discharge, so it is important to think about your future contraception plans whilst you are pregnant. To help you get your choice of contraception, please inform your midwife or doctor of your choice by 36weeks.

We will be discussing all methods:

• Combined hormonal contraception

• Progestogen only contraception

• Long-acting reversible contraception (Cu-IUDs (non-hormonal), LNG-IUDs(hormonal), implants and injections)

• Barrier methods (condoms)

• Lactactional Amenorrhea Method (LAM)

• Sterilisation" 

1. The risk of developing a blood clot (thrombosis) in a blood vessel (artery or vein) remains high for the first six weeks after the birth. Whilst uncommon and occurring in only 1-2 per 1000 women, there are ways in which you can reduce your individual risk. This includes staying well hydrated and as active as you can.

2. Contact a health professional if you have any concerns. Symptoms of a blood clot in your leg can include leg pain, swelling or redness. Symptoms of a blood clot in the lung can include sudden unexplained difficulty in breathing, chest pain or tightness, coughing up blood, feeling very unwell or collapsing.
