Snapshot A 38-year-old G3P2 woman visits her obstetrician for a routine prenatal visit. She is at 28 weeks of gestation and has had an uneventful, normal pregnancy so far. Her obstetrician presents various options for postpartum contraception, including permanent sterilization, progestin implants, intrauterine devices (IUD), and short-acting hormonal contraception.
