Unintended pregnancy is common among women of fertile age, and also among those who have recently given birth. A Swedish study has shown that about 7.7% experience a new pregnancy, and that 2.5% will have an abortion between 12-24 months from childbirth. This is a prospective observational intervention study, aiming to evaluate the effects of structured contraceptive counseling during pregnancy on uptake of contraception postpartum and more specifically on long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, and to identify and explore the provider's and patient's experiences of structured contraceptive counseling during pregnancy.
