Birth Spacing & Contraception After Delivery
दो बच्चों के बीच अंतर और प्रसव के बाद गर्भनिरोध
Across 129 studies and nearly 47 million pregnancies, the lowest risk sits at a gap of about 18-23 months between one birth and the next conception. Under 6 months, preterm birth, low birth weight and newborn death all rise sharply, and the mother's anaemia risk roughly triples — which matters enormously in India, where most women are already anaemic. Breastfeeding delays periods but is not reliable contraception by itself, and an IUD can be placed within 48 hours of delivery if you want it.
When to see a doctor
- TURANT DOCTOR — IUD lagne ke baad tez pet dard, bukhaar, badboodaar discharge, ya bahut zyada bleeding (infection ya displacement ho sakta hai)
- TURANT DOCTOR — Pichhla C-section tha aur 6 mahine ke andar dobara pregnancy ho gayi (scar par bhaar — jaldi jaanch zaroori hai)
- DOCTOR SE POOCHHO — Doodh pila rahi hain aur period wapas aa gaya, ya bachcha 6 mahine ka ho gaya, ya upri doodh shuru (LAM ab bharosemand nahi — doosra tareeka chahiye)
- DELIVERY SE PEHLE POOCHHO — "Turant Copper-T (PPIUCD) ka option hai kya?" (48 ghante ki khidki hai, aur sarkari hospital mein muft — baad mein poochna mushkil hota hai)
- AGLI PREGNANCY SE PEHLE — Hb, thyroid, sugar check karwao aur folic acid 3 mahine pehle shuru karo (khaaskar agar gap 18 mahine se kam ho raha hai)
