During the self-quarantine period at home that has been going on for the past few months, many obstetric and gynecological clinics have not been operating. This has made it difficult for many women to access contraceptive tools. In addition, many also comply with the government's recommendation to stay at home, so they choose to postpone going to the gynecological clinic to access contraceptive tools. This has resulted in a high number of new pregnancies during the work-from-home period.
