Summary

Due to potential to improve family planning, clinicians are increasingly interested in shortening the time to postpartum visits, but lack an evidence base to change policy.There are no studies that have examined the effectiveness of shortened interval to postpartum visit on attendance rate, contraception use, and rapid repeat of pregnancy (RROP). With this research, the investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the effect of reduced time interval to postpartum visit (3-4 weeks rather than 6-8 weeks) on postpartum visit attendance rate, contraceptive use, and RROP.
