Background: This modern era talks about women strength and empowerment where they are working either equally or one step ahead of men. However, a fall back in making decisions for contraception use and family planning can still be observed. It is most frequently seen among women belonging to some village as they are exposed to a minimal health care. Keeping this in mind, this crucial period was considered as opportunity to test the issue regarding the various choices of contraception available. Objective of this study was to find out the criteria and methods of contraception selected by women in the postpartum period.Methods: A cross-sectional study in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology was conducted over a period of 11/2 years in which a total of 150 postpartum women were interrogated and counselled regarding various methods of contraception.Results: The contraceptive methods most commonly selected in postpartum period are PPIUCD, Barrier, tubal ligation and injectable contraception of which condom is the most common method adopted. The important factors responsible for the choice of contraception include parity, breast- feeding, education and socio-economic status of the women.Conclusions: Postpartum period is particularly important for initiating contraception as the largest proportion with unmet need of contraception is found among those in their first year after child birth. In order to space birth in a healthy manner postpartum contraception should be emphasized upon.

Bombay blood type is the rarest blood group known all over the world. The worldwide incidence of Bombay Blood group is one in every 250000 worldwide [1]. On red blood cells of these people there was absence of A, B and H antigens and also the anti-H antibodies were present in plasma. There is a probability that he anti-H antibodies in the maternal blood may lead to hemolytic disease in newborn and may trigger severe transfusion reaction specially hemolysis when exposed to any blood type other than Bombay blood group. Bombay blood group in pregnant is a rare entity. We report a case of Bombay blood group with anemia with preeclampsia with previous caesarean section managed intensively to give a healthy mother and baby. The biggest task is arranging blood for transfusion because the Bombay blood group is not available easily.
