Pilot study reveals feasibility and acceptability of interconception resource for women, suggesting improved health outcomes.
Providing high-quality reproductive health information for pregnant women will promote health literacy, improve postpartum maternal health and optimise preconception health before future pregnancies. We analysed antenatal data from 314 women attending a Victorian Hospital for pregnancy services, and co-designed and evaluated a culturally responsive interconception health tool for inclusion in the baby bundle provided to women attending this service. Information around family planning, nutrition and physical activity, lactation, common conditions in pregnancy, mental health and support networks was included in the tool. Women reported that combining an interconception resource with the standard midwifery-led discharge consultation would be optimal.
