Abstract

Unwanted pregnancies may be a result of lack of access to family planning information and supplies, method failure, rape, incest, lack of support from sexual partners and abandonment or financial hardships. Most of these will end in pregnancy termination which can be safe or unsafe. Post abortal contraception can therefore prevent the next unwanted pregnancy. The aim of this study was to determine the acceptance of post abortal contraception among women admitted with abortion at Mwananyamala hospital, and to asses their pre-existing knowledge and use of contraception before the index pregnancy
