MSFinals-1988

A 26-year-old primigravida has a spontaneous vaginal delivery at 38+2 weeks gestation. It is midwife-led and uncomplicated. She is seen by the obstetric team the next day on the post-natal ward as she is requesting contraception. Her medical history and allergies are negative. She is formula-feeding the baby. Before getting pregnant, she was taking the combined oral contraceptive pill and wants to resume it. She mentions that she couldn’t tolerate the progesterone-only pill and doesn’t prefer the intra-uterine system.

What are the counseling points for this patient?
