The Need to Integrate FP Into Maternal Care A successful integration of FP services in the maternal and child care entails: Integrate FP counseling in the antenatal care, early labor and immediate postpartum Come up with a standardized protocol for postpartum FP service delivery Make sure that there different methods available for the mothers in the birthing facility

Summary Extended postpartum period is 0–23 months post delivery when the woman is at risk unintended pregnancy and unmet need for FP is high. Birth spacing prevents pregnancy complications and child morbidity and mortality. There are several FP options for postpartum women depending on their reproductive intentions. Key to successful integration of postpartum family planning in MCH is to offer the service including counseling while the mother is still under the care of the provider.
