INTRODUCTIONIndia stands as the second largest populated country in the world with a population of 1.32 billion estimated in 2017. It is projected to contribute 17.74% to world's population in 2018.1 27% of births are spaced less than 24 months apart. Short birth intervals less than 24 months are associated with increased health risk for mother and baby.2 Any pregnancy that occurs within 24 months of last child birth increases the risk of adverse outcomes for mother, her baby and her new pregnancy like anemia, abortions, premature labor, PPH, low birth weight babies, fetal loss and maternal death.3 61% of women in 0-23 months postpartum have an unmet need for family planning in a data from recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted in 21 low-and middle-income countries to examine patterns of inter-pregnancy intervals, unmet need, pregnancy risk where family planning method use only 31%. 4 Postpartum women express a desire to prevent pregnancy during first two years after delivery but the majority are not using any contraception (UNMET NEED). Antenatal, postnatal ABSTRACT Background: Antenatal period is the ideal time for counselling regarding contraception. PPIUCD is a long term reversible method for unmet need of contraception in women of reproductive age. The objectives of this study were to determine proportion of women accepting PPIUCD insertion, their socio-demographic, obstetrics characteristics, reason for acceptance, denial, rates of expulsion, complications and continuation rate till 10 weeks after insertion. Methods: A prospective descriptive study on 300 consented women was done in 2012-2013. A structured questionnaire and performa were used to obtain data. PPIUCD (CuT380A) was inserted in these women and were followed up till 10 weeks post insertion. Results: Out of 300 women counselled, only 85 accepted PPIUCD giving an acceptance rate of 28.33%. Women who had short inter-conceptional period or those who had previously used interval IUCD were significantly associated with greater acceptance. Fear of pain, heavy bleeding and infertility when planning next pregnancy were the most common reasons for denial. Continuation rate was 86.89% at 10th week after insertion. No major complication was observed i.e. perforation, infection and pregnancy. Conclusions: PPIUCD is quite safe method of contraception. Adequate counselling and clarification of myths associated with PPIUCD use can help acceptance and meet the unmet needs of contraception in post-partum period and even later in reproductive age women.
