Purpose Of The Study: The unmet need for contraception in the postpartum period is a major challenge in our country. Unintended pregnancies are highest in the first year after birth, and postpartum IUCD insertion is an effective way to counter this problem. This study was planned to build up data for acceptance and follow-up of postpartum IUCD insertions.
Methods: The present study has included data of PPIUCD insertions and follow-up from seven institutions over a period of 6 months. The case recruitment lasted for 3 months, including only those who had PPIUCD insertions in this period, and they were followed up for a period of 6 months. The follow-up of patients was at 6 weeks and 6 months. All issues were addressed including side effects, expulsions, myths surrounding the device, etc., along with routine postnatal care.
Results And Conclusion: There were 5227 deliveries and 1895 insertions. The acceptance rate was 36%, and a follow-up at 6 weeks and 6 months showed up an expulsion rate of approximately 4% and a removal rate of 5%. Overall, at the end of 6 months we have a continuation rate of 90%. This shows that a dedicated approach to postpartum contraception will definitely bring down incidence of unintended pregnancies.

Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses a significant risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and exhibits heterogeneity. However, understanding the link between different types of post-GDM individuals without diabetes and their progression to T2D is crucial to advance personalised medicine approaches.

Introduction: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-related complication estimated to affect up to 8% of pregnancies worldwide. It is associated with an increased risk of postpartum sustained hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease and cardiovascular-related mortality. Nevertheless, these associations have seldom been addressed in younger women from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Introduction: The intrauterine device (IUD) inserted immediately after delivery is a safe and effective measure for preventing unplanned pregnancies. Despite exhibiting a higher expulsion rate compared with later insertions, it proves cost-effective due to the high rate of continuity of the method. There is still a gap in the literature regarding the optimal strategy for monitoring these patients, whether it should be through clinical examination, ultrasound or both.

Background: Thinking Healthy Programme (THP) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention that can be delivered by non-psychologists and does not require the implementer to have a mental health background or field experience. The THP has been tested in maternal health in many countries. However, the application of the THP model in Chinese maternal and child health has not been reported.
