Abstract:
Worldwide, 9 out of 10 women want to avoid pregnancy for 2 years after having a baby. However, the absence of priority for birth spacing and lower uptake of postpartum modern contraceptive results in poor maternal and newborn health outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive and associated factors among extended postpartum women in Pawe district, Northwest Ethiopia.
