this 2-page Brief summarizes the advantages of inserting an IUD following childbirth.
--Convenience for the woman and prompt protection from unintended pregnancy.
--The evidence suggests that the immediate postpartum insertion of an IUD (within 10 minutes of delivery) is generally safe and effective.
--IUDs are expelled more often when inserted immediately after delivery compared to insertion at a later time, but early follow-up can help identify spontaneous expulsions.
--Providers need to be properly trained and supervised in any immediate postpartum IUD program.
