Brief Summary

Iraq is a country that ranks 33rd around world population growth rate. Meanwhile it is one of the counties in the middle east with the highest fertility rate, In addition to the considerable number of unintended pregnancy mainly in postpartum period. The less use of family planning methods, the higher the fertility rate and the less interpregnancy interval which will carry an obvious more risk to the mother and the fetus especially if the cesarean delivery rate shown an increase trend as the case in Iraq. For that reason, contraception needs to be practiced in this critical period and an intrauterine contraceptive device ( IUD), the most commonly used reversible method of contraception worldwide could be an excellent choice during this period. There were few evidences available about the safety and feasibility on practicing this type of contraception when we did start three years ago and no previous evidences in Iraq about practicing this method at the immediate postpartum period.

Study Arms (1)

Post placental intra uterine device insertion

EXPERIMENTAL

There was immediate post-partum insertion of CuT 380 A intrauterine device after delivery of placenta during cesarean delivery. To overcome the considerable expulsion rate in the previous studies, we stabilize the IUD in place at the fundus be an absorbable suture; vicryl 0 that was introduced through the fundus, held the needle with sponge holder that was introduce up the fundus and taken out the vicryl through the lower uterine inscion, cutting the needle, hold the vicryl around the the T arm of the IUD and withdrawn back to be placed inside the fundus. Before closing the uterine incision, the threads were placed in the lower uterine segment, then the uterine incision was then closed routinely.

Device: Copper Intra uterine contarceptive device ( Cu-T 380A)

Interventions

Insertion of the Cu-T 380A during cesarean delivery immediately after placental removal.

Post placental intra uterine device insertion

You may qualify if:

  • Women who delivered by caesarean section whether elective or emergency, counseled for IUD insertion in pre- natal period or at the time of labour and who has the will and her husband to be engaged in the study.
