This study will entail provision of ulipristal acetate (UPA) for emergency contraception (EC) in the postpartum period for patients who have not chosen to initiate a highly effective form of contraception and study the use of EC overall as well as with regards to participants' perception of reproductive autonomy. The investigators hypothesize that providing an advance supply of EC will increase use and decrease barriers to use. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that, with thorough EC counseling, participants will develop an increased knowledge base of EC. With increased use and knowledge, the investigators hypothesize that participants will experience greater reproductive autonomy over their contraceptive decisions.
