Manas Ranjan PradhanSourav MondalPublished in: The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research (2022)
Pregnancy history influences young married women's current contraceptive use in India. Family planning programs may use the contacts with antenatal, delivery, and post-delivery care system as an opportunity to identify women with an unwanted pregnancy, especially those educationally and economically weaker, for targeted information and service delivery. Better counseling of potential young contraceptive acceptors will ensure informed decision-making and increased use of modern spacing methods.
