Summary

This study aims to demonstrate that the expulsion rate is increased but acceptable when inserting Mirena IUDs immediately postpartum, termed 'postplacental IUD insertion'. The investigators will compare the postplacental insertion expulsion rate estimate with rates reported in the literature for 6 week postpartum insertion, which is currently the American standard for IUD insertion postpartum. Secondary outcomes will also be examined; endometritis, uterine perforation, continuation and pregnancy among others.
