The aims of this research are to determine contraceptive methods that women use within a year of giving birth and to show the time elapsed between childbirth and the next pregnancy in comparison with the contraceptive methods use. The last aim is to show how much time passed between childbirth and the next pregnancy in women who gave birth vaginally and those who gave birth by caesarean section. The research was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire that was created exclusively for this research. The questionnaire consisted of 3 demographic and 5 specific questions. This study included 100 women who had two or more births. Within a year of giving birth, most respondents did not use contraception (41,66%), while slightly fewer respondents stated that they used interrupted intercourse (16,67%) as a method of contraception and natural methods of contraception (16,67%). A statistically significant difference was observed between the methods of contraception and the interval between giving birth and the next pregnancy, while 35,7% of respondents with an interval of less than one year do not use contraception. There is no statistically significant difference between childbirth and the next pregnancy in women who gave birth vaginally or by caesarean section. It is concluded that the majority of respondents do not use contraception or use ineffective methods of contraception. As a result, the interval between pregnancies is shorter, which can lead to a number of complications.
