Postpartum Family Planning Services

 

Summary

This report describes changes in birth spacing and postpartum use of family planning services after the extension of family planning services.

Graph: Rate of Subsequent Birth Within Two Years for Washington Women

  • The rate of subsequent births within two years has decreased by nearly one-fourth (23%) for all Washington women. For women who gave birth in 1990-92, 12.6% had another birth within two years. For women who gave birth in 1995-96, that rate decreased to 9.7%.

  • The largest decrease in subsequent birth rate occurred among undocumented women. Among these women, the subsequent birth rate decreased from 19.3% for births in 1990-92 to 10.0% in 1995-96. This represents a decrease of nearly one-half in the rate of subsequent births.
