Abstract
Background: A previous Caesarean section (CS) confers high risk on the index pregnancy. Ensuring optimal inter-pregnancy intervals and the reduction of unintended pregnancies among this sub-population of high risk pregnancies is important for maternal health and survival. Contraception is encouraged especially after CS in order to reduce the risk of a short inter-pregnancy interval. The determinants of contraception among women has been widely
studied but there are few studies that have looked at the predictors of contraception among this high risk sub-population - women with a previous CS.
